Banana Pepper and Olives Pizza
Banana Pepper is sweet and spicy where olives is savory, and a shared tangy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Tangy, mildly sweet banana peppers add a bright crunch and gentle heat to pizza. Briny, fruity olives add a salty Mediterranean depth to every bite of pizza. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
