Bacon
Smoky, crispy bacon strips bring an unmistakable crunch and rich, salty depth to pizza.
Thick-cut bacon delivers an incredible combination of smoke, salt, and fat that complements almost any pizza style. Pre-cooking the bacon to a partial crisp before topping ensures it finishes perfectly in the oven with a satisfying crunch that contrasts the soft dough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should bacon be cooked before putting it on pizza?
Yes, partially cook bacon before adding it to pizza. This renders excess fat and ensures the bacon finishes crispy rather than chewy after the short bake time.
What type of bacon is best for pizza?
Thick-cut, applewood-smoked bacon holds up best on pizza. The thicker cut prevents it from burning while providing substantial bites of smoky, savory flavor.
