Bacon and Sweet Corn Pizza
Bacon is smoky, savory and rich where sweet corn is sweet and fresh, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Smoky, crispy bacon strips bring an unmistakable crunch and rich, salty depth to pizza. Fresh or roasted corn kernels add pops of juicy sweetness and a satisfying crunch. On a Tomatillo Salsa Verde base, the sauce's tangy and bright character ties the two together.
