Pulled Pork and Sweet Corn Pizza
Pulled Pork is smoky and savory where sweet corn is fresh, and a shared sweet streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Tender, slow-smoked pulled pork brings barbecue-inspired richness and deep smoky sweetness to pizza. 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. Both toppings peak in summer, which makes this a natural summer pizza.
