Tired of the same boring pizza toppings?
Want to discover how to elevate your pizzas?
Create mouth-watering masterpieces that defy expectations.
I’m throwing red turtle shells at the amateur stuff like adding pineapple or bacon and calling it “gourmet.” If you want to find out how to seriously take your pizza to the next level, this blog post is for you.
1 Truffle Oil
The Goomba’s secret ingredient!
The polarizing flavor of truffle stands out from the crowd and immediately catches attention. This potent potion should be used sparingly as a little goes a long way. I recommend brushing some truffle oil onto your crust and lightly sprinkling it on your cheese before adding other toppings.
2 Gyro Meat
Most of the time pizza gets lumped in with traditional Italian foods, but it translates easily to other Mediterranean flavors. I love to add some beef and lamb gyro meat, banana peppers, and olives to my pizzas for a little flair.
3 Caramelized Onions, Apples, and Goat Cheese
What a flavor combo! Mama mia!
The caramelized onions provide a sweet, tangy punch to mesh with the sweetness of the apples and the saltiness of the goat cheese. Altogether, this pizza topping combo will have you and your guests floating on Rainbow Road!
4 Sriracha Honey
Add some kick and spice to your pie with a drizzle of this delectable sauce. I recommend making your own by mixing local honey with sriracha to taste. You want a little heat, but it shouldn’t be overwhelming. Add this finisher to any pizza to round out its flavor profile.
5 Peaches and Cinnamon
This is the Princess’s favorite dessert.
Make a homemade compote out of the freshest peaches you can find, saving a few to slice and serve on top. Then spread all over your pizza crust to serve as the sauce. After baking, serve with some handmade whipped cream for a dessert that even Bowser can’t refuse!
