Fig and Prosciutto Pizza
Fig is sweet where prosciutto is savory, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Sweet, jammy figs add a luscious, honey-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with salty cheeses. Delicate, dry-cured Italian ham that adds an elegant, silky layer of salt and sweetness. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together.
