Banana Pepper and Cherry Tomatoes Pizza
Banana Pepper is spicy where cherry tomatoes is fresh, and a shared tangy and sweet streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Tangy, mildly sweet banana peppers add a bright crunch and gentle heat to pizza. Blistered cherry tomatoes burst with bright, sweet-tart juice on every slice. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian. Both toppings peak in summer, which makes this a natural summer pizza.
