Frequently Asked Questions
Is corn a good pizza topping?
Corn is an excellent and widely loved pizza topping, especially popular in many countries outside the United States. Its natural sweetness and slight crunch add a refreshing contrast to savory cheeses and meats.
Should you use fresh or canned corn on pizza?
Fresh corn in season is ideal, especially if charred in a hot pan first. Frozen corn works well when thawed and drained. Canned corn is acceptable but should be drained thoroughly.
