Blue Cheese and Walnut Pizza
Blue Cheese is tangy and savory where walnut is earthy, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Bold, pungent blue cheese crumbles add an unmistakable tangy depth and creamy richness to pizza. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.

What sauce goes best with blue cheese and walnut pizza?
Brown Butter-Sage Sauce is the strongest match. Its nutty, toasty and herbal profile supports both blue cheese and walnut without crowding them. Truffle Cream Sauce is a good second choice if you want a different direction.
What else goes well with blue cheese and walnut on pizza?
Fig, pear and honey all pair well with both toppings, so any of them can join without unbalancing the pizza. Add one rather than all of them: two or three toppings per pizza keeps each one distinct.
