Eggplant and Ricotta Pizza
Eggplant is smoky, earthy and savory where ricotta is fresh and rich, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Roasted eggplant brings a silky, smoky, almost meaty quality to vegetarian pizza. Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
