Fig and Honey Pizza
Fig and honey both lean sweet, so the pairing doubles down on what each does best instead of competing.
Sweet, jammy figs add a luscious, honey-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with salty cheeses. A golden drizzle of honey adds floral sweetness that beautifully balances salty, spicy toppings. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sauce goes best with fig and honey pizza?
Brown Butter-Sage Sauce is the strongest match. Its nutty, toasty and herbal profile supports both fig and honey without crowding them. Truffle Cream Sauce is a good second choice if you want a different direction.
What else goes well with fig and honey on pizza?
Gorgonzola and walnut all pair well with both toppings, so any of them can join without unbalancing the pizza. Add one rather than all of them: two or three toppings per pizza keeps each one distinct.
