This Neapolitan-style pizza is a crazy combo that works. The spicy salami and chilies drizzled with sweet honey pair perfectly together. Plus I have an overflow of basil in my backyard from summer that finishes nicely on top. Our daughter said we were “weird” but our son gobbled the rest of it up the next day.
I used Trader Joes store-bought pizza dough and cheeses. Change up your pizza routine and make this!
