Poblano Pepper and Sweet Corn Pizza
Poblano Pepper is smoky, earthy and spicy where sweet corn is sweet and fresh, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Roasted poblano peppers bring a mild, smoky heat and rich, earthy pepper flavor. Fresh or roasted corn kernels add pops of juicy sweetness and a satisfying crunch. On a Tomatillo Salsa Verde base, the sauce's tangy and bright character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian. Both toppings peak in summer, which makes this a natural summer pizza.
