Pulled Pork and Jalapeno Pizza
Pulled Pork is smoky, savory and sweet where jalapeno is spicy and fresh, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Tender, slow-smoked pulled pork brings barbecue-inspired richness and deep smoky sweetness to pizza. Fresh jalapeno slices add a crisp, green heat with a bright, vegetal flavor. On a Tomatillo Salsa Verde base, the sauce's tangy and bright character ties the two together.
