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.
What goes well with sweet corn on pizza?
Sweet Corn pairs best with cotija, jalapeno, bacon and poblano pepper. Start with one or two of these rather than piling everything on: two or three toppings per pizza keeps each flavor distinct.
