Blackberry Basil Ricotta Pizza
Blackberry Basil Ricotta Pizza features a fresh, unconventional topping combination on a thin, crisp pizza crust. Blackberries, mozzarella, parmesan, creamy ricotta, and fresh basil leaves create a balance of sweet, creamy, and herbal notes. Baking at high heat on a pizza stone crisps the crust and melts the cheeses evenly, while adding fresh basil during baking preserves its bright aroma and flavor.
