Duck Confit
Shredded duck confit adds a luxuriously rich, tender, and deeply savory element to pizza.
Duck confit is duck leg slow-cooked in its own fat until impossibly tender and richly flavored, a classic French technique that translates beautifully to pizza. Shredded and scattered on pizza, the crispy-edged, meltingly tender meat delivers a depth of savory richness that elevates any pie to special-occasion status.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prepare duck confit for pizza?
Shred the duck confit meat from the bone and crisp it in a hot skillet before adding to pizza. The pre-crisping ensures the edges become golden and crunchy while the center stays meltingly tender.
Is duck confit too rich for pizza?
Duck confit is rich, so pair it with acidic or fresh toppings like arugula, balsamic glaze, or pickled onions to balance the richness. A little goes a long way on pizza.
