English Peas
VegetarianSweet, bright spring peas add pops of freshness and colour to any pizza.
English peas bring a burst of sweetness and vivid green to a spring pizza. Scattered on after baking or added in the last minutes, they stay plump and tender, their delicate sugar balancing salty cured meats and creamy cheeses. Fresh-shelled peas are best in season, though good-quality frozen peas work year round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should peas go on pizza before or after baking?
Add peas in the last few minutes of baking, or scatter them on right after the pizza comes out. This keeps them sweet, plump, and bright green rather than shrivelled.
Can I use frozen peas on pizza?
Yes. Thaw frozen peas and pat them dry before use. They are picked and frozen at peak sweetness, so they work well when fresh spring peas are out of season.
