    Meat Pizza Toppings

    By far, the most popular types of pizza toppings are ones that involve meat, and with a wide selection, we don’t blame you! From the delicious parma ham to spicy salami and much more, there is an abundance of meaty creations you can enjoy. When adding meat to your pizza, it is important to beautifully compliment the flavours with chilli, garlic, onion and even more meat! For example, spicy chicken and beef go down a treat, especially when paired with another layer of heat from jalapeños. If you’re looking for recipes to try at home, take a look at our previous article on how to make pizza dough!

    We know your tastebuds will be tingling at the thought of pizza, so let’s dive into the best meat pizza toppings you will ever have!

    1. The Luganica: Italian Sausage, Garlic, Spinach & Chillis

    The best way to get the full taste of Italian cuisine is to try out Italian sausage on your pizza. Italian sausage is a pork sausage that has been seasoned with various herbs, with the primary ingredient being fennel. Depending on the recipe, Italian sausage can be spicy or mild, so be sure to ask our team if you’re unsure what type of Italian sausage we have! To complement the herbs and flavours in the sausage, we highly recommend chillis, as it can bring out the herbs and spices in the sausage even more. Toning down the spice, we enjoy adding sauteed garlic spinach onto the pizza for a contrasting flavour that packs a punch. You can try your hand at cooking up your own Italian sausage using this fantastic recipe from The Daring Gourmet!
