Which bell pepper color is best for pizza?
Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are sweeter and more flavorful than green. A mix of colors creates the most visually appealing and flavor-balanced pizza topping.

Raw bell pepper slices can go directly on the pizza before baking. They will soften and slightly char during cooking. For a more tender result, briefly saute them first.
