Sardine and Lemon Zest Pizza
Sardine is savory, umami and rich where lemon zest is fresh and tangy, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Bold, oil-rich sardines bring intense umami depth and Mediterranean character to pizza. Bright lemon zest adds a fragrant citrus lift that awakens and freshens rich pizzas. On a Calabrian Chili Oil Base base, the sauce's fruity heat and smoky character ties the two together.
