Ricotta and Spinach Pizza
Ricotta is rich where spinach is earthy, and a shared fresh streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. Fresh spinach wilts into tender, iron-rich leaves that add a mild, earthy green flavor. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
