Bacon and Jalapeno Pizza
Bacon is smoky, savory and rich where jalapeno is spicy 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 jalapeno slices add a crisp, green heat with a bright, vegetal flavor. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together.
