Clam and Sweet Corn Pizza
Clam is savory and umami where sweet corn is sweet, and a shared fresh streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Briny, tender clams deliver a classic New Haven-style pizza experience with deep oceanic flavor. Fresh or roasted corn kernels add pops of juicy sweetness and a satisfying crunch. On a White Garlic-Parmesan Cream Sauce base, the sauce's roasted garlic and nutty character ties the two together.
