Banana Pepper and Caramelized Onion Pizza
Banana Pepper is tangy and spicy where caramelized onion is savory and rich, and a shared sweet streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Tangy, mildly sweet banana peppers add a bright crunch and gentle heat to pizza. Slowly caramelized onions add a deep, jammy sweetness with savory undertones. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
