Anchovy and Roasted Garlic Pizza

Anchovy is umami where roasted garlic is sweet and rich, and a shared savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.

Briny, umami-packed anchovy fillets that dissolve into the pizza, adding an intense depth of flavor. Slow-roasted garlic cloves become impossibly sweet, mellow, and spreadably soft. On a Calabrian Chili Oil Base base, the sauce's fruity heat and smoky character ties the two together.
