Roasted Beet and Arugula Pizza
Roasted Beet is sweet and earthy where arugula is fresh and herby, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Jewel-toned roasted beets add earthy sweetness and stunning color to artisan pizza. Peppery, crisp arugula adds a fresh, vibrant bite as a post-bake pizza topping. On a Pistachio Pesto Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and subtly sweet character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
