Sardine and Olives Pizza
Sardine is umami and rich where olives 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. Briny, fruity olives add a salty Mediterranean depth to every bite of pizza. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together.
