This homemade soppressata pizza is a sophisticated take on a classic Italian favourite, offering a wonderful balance of bold and creamy flavours. The heat from the thinly sliced salami pairs beautifully with the sweetness of bottled roasted red peppers, while a trio of cheeses—Romano, fontina, and ricotta—provides a rich, melting texture. Using a grilled base ensures a crisp, smoky finish that rivals any authentic stone-baked oven.
