Olives and Feta Pizza
Olives and feta both lean savory and tangy, so the pairing doubles down on what each does best instead of competing. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Briny, fruity olives add a salty Mediterranean depth to every bite of pizza. Crumbly, briny Greek feta adds a sharp, tangy saltiness that brightens every bite. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
