Avocado
VegetarianCreamy avocado slices add a rich, buttery freshness to pizza as a luxurious post-bake topping.
Avocado brings a creamy, buttery richness to pizza that complements spicy, tangy, and bright flavors perfectly. Always added after baking, its cool creaminess provides a wonderful contrast to the hot, crispy crust. Sliced or cubed and seasoned with lime and salt, avocado transforms Mexican-inspired and fusion pizzas into something truly special.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should avocado go on pizza?
Always add avocado after the pizza is baked. Heat turns avocado bitter and mushy. Slice or dice it, toss with a squeeze of lime juice and salt, then arrange on the hot pizza just before serving.
How do you keep avocado from browning on pizza?
A squeeze of lime or lemon juice prevents browning. Since avocado is added right before serving, browning is rarely an issue. Choose ripe but firm avocados that hold their shape when sliced.
