We love pizza. We love muffaletta. We decided they probably would be easy to love together.
So we decided to combine them. In honor of Mardi Gras, we created a muffaletta flatbread, a basic thin-crust pizza topped with all the classic ingredients of New Orleans’ beloved muffaletta sandwich. We start with a red pepper pesto blended from roasted bell peppers, capers, and toasted walnuts. We then top that with an olive and cherry pepper blend, then finally sliced salami and provolone cheese.
For a shortcut version, prep the red pepper pesto and olive salad ahead of time. They can be refrigerated for several days. You also could substitute mixed marinated olives from the grocer’s olive bar for the olive salad.
