Lamb and Olives Pizza
Lamb is earthy and rich where olives is tangy, and a shared savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Rich, aromatic ground lamb brings a Mediterranean depth and earthy warmth to pizza. Briny, fruity olives add a salty Mediterranean depth to every bite of pizza. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together.
