Everything on this pizza is there because it earns its place, nothing decorative.
- Ham, cut thin and laid over the base.
- Mushrooms, sliced and cooked down until they soften.
- Black olives, salty and firm.
- Artichokes, quartered and tender.
- Mozzarella, melted until it pulls.
Capricciosa is the classic four-topping pizza, and the point of it is balance: the salt of the ham and olives against the softer mushrooms and artichokes, all of it held together by mozzarella. Ours goes into the oven on a thin base and comes out with the edges charred and the middle still soft. Cut it into slices and eat it while it is hot, because this is not a pizza that improves sitting still.
Contains: gluten.
