Sardine and Capers Pizza
Sardine is umami and rich where capers is tangy, and a shared savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Bold, oil-rich sardines bring intense umami depth and Mediterranean character to pizza. Tiny, briny capers burst with intense, salty-tangy flavor that punches above their size. On a Calabrian Chili Oil Base base, the sauce's fruity heat and smoky character ties the two together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sauce goes best with sardine and capers pizza?
Calabrian Chili Oil Base is the strongest match. Its fruity heat, smoky and garlicky profile supports both sardine and capers without crowding them. San Marzano Red Sauce is a good second choice if you want a different direction.
What else goes well with sardine and capers on pizza?
Olives and lemon zest all pair well with both toppings, so any of them can join without unbalancing the pizza. Add one rather than all of them: two or three toppings per pizza keeps each one distinct.
