Calabrian Chili and Nduja Pizza
Calabrian Chili is smoky where nduja is rich, and a shared spicy and savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Fiery, fruity Calabrian chili peppers bring intense Southern Italian heat and bright red color. A fiery, spreadable Calabrian salami that melts into the pizza, creating pockets of spicy, porky heat. On a Calabrian Chili Oil Base base, the sauce's fruity heat and smoky character ties the two together.
