Words and Promotion by Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma

“Prosciutto on pizza is anything but original, but crispy ground Prosciutto di Parma crumbles on homemade pizza with fresh mozzarella and sage? That’s an instant classic. Serve as a whole pie to your guests or by the slice. Either way this pizza is an ideal way to try new things with leftover prosciutto scraps.”
