Out of the oven, it’s finished with thin pieces of prosciutto and peppery arugula. It’s an irresistible sweet and savory combination – the perfect addition for an October pizza night.

French Onion Pizza

This french onion pizza is exactly what we need this December. A simple, no-fuss kind of dinner that could not be more comforting.

The perfect winter pizza. Continue reading “French Onion Pizza”
