This pizza is constructed from the wonderful Italian ingredients that come in jars. There is a huge selection. Try white asparagus, mushrooms, capers, or mixed antipasto. Avoid using commercial pizza sauce — it’s way too salty. Prepared pizza bases generally do not contain any prohibited ingredients, but do check the ingredients before purchasing.
