Gorgonzola and Walnut Pizza
Gorgonzola is tangy and savory where walnut is earthy, 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.
Italy's signature blue cheese adds a bold, tangy bite with rich, creamy veining. Toasted walnuts add a satisfying crunch and earthy, slightly bitter nuttiness. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
