Mushrooms and Thyme Pizza
Mushrooms is umami and savory where thyme is herby, and a shared earthy 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.
Earthy, savory mushrooms add a meaty depth and woodsy aroma to pizza. Delicate thyme leaves add a gentle, earthy warmth with subtle floral notes. On a Truffle Cream Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and aromatic character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
