Once I assume summer time, I take into consideration a good looking, bountiful backyard. Once I was a child, my mother and father at all times had tomatoes, cucumbers and squash rising, and we’d get pleasure from it for the entire season.
I channeled these reminiscences making this pizza, an array of seasonally recent produce and a few lovely shiny flowers. I do know lots of you’re most likely considering, “I might by no means put flowers on a pizza.” Effectively, I adore it! They add a lot to the expertise.

We now have a saying right here at Actually Pizza that we would like our pizza to look pretty much as good because it tastes, and style pretty much as good because it seems to be. The flowers clearly add a pop of colour, however on this pizza additionally they add a bit of tartness as nicely. That taste tends to go nicely with the candy squash, the creaminess of the goat cheese ricotta combination and the salty freshness of the herby salsa verde. So, do your self a favor and department out. Take pleasure in what the seasons have to supply and make some lovely pizzas.
