Broccolini and Lemon Zest Pizza
Broccolini is earthy where lemon zest is tangy, and a shared fresh streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Tender broccolini florets and slim stalks add a fresh, slightly bitter crunch to pizza. Bright lemon zest adds a fragrant citrus lift that awakens and freshens rich pizzas. On a Classic Basil Pesto base, the sauce's herbaceous and garlicky character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
