Mortadella and Ricotta Pizza
Mortadella is savory where ricotta is fresh, and a shared rich streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Silky Italian deli meat studded with pistachios and peppercorns, adding a luxuriously smooth, porky richness. Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together.
