Clam and Lemon Zest Pizza
Clam is savory and umami where lemon zest is tangy, 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. Bright lemon zest adds a fragrant citrus lift that awakens and freshens rich pizzas. On a White Garlic-Parmesan Cream Sauce base, the sauce's roasted garlic and nutty character ties the two together.
