Pistachio and Honey Pizza
Pistachio and honey both lean sweet, so the pairing doubles down on what each does best instead of competing.
Crushed pistachios add a vibrant green color and a sweet, buttery, slightly floral crunch. A golden drizzle of honey adds floral sweetness that beautifully balances salty, spicy toppings. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
