Sardine and Roasted Red Pepper Pizza
Sardine is savory, umami and rich where roasted red pepper is sweet, smoky and fresh, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Bold, oil-rich sardines bring intense umami depth and Mediterranean character to pizza. Sweet, smoky roasted red peppers add vibrant color and a charred, velvety sweetness. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together.
