Is ricotta good on pizza?

Absolutely! Ricotta adds a creamy and slightly sweet note to pizza. Its soft texture complements the crispness of the pizza crust while its subtle flavor provides a great counterpoint to stronger or saltier toppings like prosciutto or olives.

Should I put ricotta on pizza before or after baking?

It depends on how you want the ricotta to perform in your pizza. If you want it to melt more and blend with other flavors, you should add it before baking. If you prefer to maintain its creamy texture and subtle tang, it’s better to dollop it on top after the pizza has baked.

What do Italians put on top of pizza?

Italian pizzas often showcase a variety of fresh, high-quality ingredients. Classic toppings include mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil, and olive oil. However, there’s a range of regional variations featuring ingredients like prosciutto, arugula, olives, anchovies, or even eggs. The key is simplicity and quality over quantity.

And if you are asking that question referring to what condiment do Italians use, remember for us simplicity is key. So we usually use just a high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil like Belmorso, no side sauces and no cheese in our crust.

Do Italians put balsamic vinegar on pizza?

While not a traditional topping, it’s not unheard of. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar on a freshly baked pizza, especially one that’s topped with fresh veggies or arugula, can add a delightful tangy-sweet element.
