Clam and Roasted Garlic Pizza
Clam is umami and fresh where roasted garlic is sweet 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. Slow-roasted garlic cloves become impossibly sweet, mellow, and spreadably soft. On a White Garlic-Parmesan Cream Sauce base, the sauce's roasted garlic and nutty character ties the two together.
