Clam and Bacon Pizza
Clam is umami and fresh where bacon is smoky and rich, and a shared savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Briny, tender clams deliver a classic New Haven-style pizza experience with deep oceanic flavor. Smoky, crispy bacon strips bring an unmistakable crunch and rich, salty depth to pizza. On a White Garlic-Parmesan Cream Sauce base, the sauce's roasted garlic and nutty character ties the two together.
