Arugula Pizza

Arugula Pizza is a thin crust pizza topped with olive oil, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes and is a fun and delicious way to eat your pizza and salad together!

I am one of those boring people that get the same thing every time they go to a restaurant.  I have my favorite dish and I don’t deviate.  I’m always afraid of being disappointed if I do.  At California Pizza Kitchen, I get their Tricolore  Salad Pizza.  I decided it was time to recreate the Tricolore Salad Pizza at home.

The pizza uses olive oil and as the base, instead of a tomato sauce. And is topped with fresh mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and fresh tomatoes before baking. Once out of the oven, it is topped with Arugula and and a Balsamic Vinaigrette. You will love all of the delicious flavors.
