In spring, the earth awakens with tender greens and delicate herbs. Think of a pizza topped with arugula tossed in lemon oil, spring onions gently browned with thyme, and creamy goat cheese. Add a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for crunch and vegas108 a drizzle of maple syrup to balance the earthiness. Fresh morel mushrooms, if you can find them are a luxurious addition that bring a earthy, umami richness. The crust should be cloud-like and blistered, baked just until golden to let the spring flavors shine.

Summer brings abundance. Juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, and juicy nectarines are all at their peak. Try a pizza with a base of herb-infused olive oil instead of tomato sauce, topped with sliced heirloom tomatoes, fresh corn kernels, and thin peach slices.

This pizza tastes like a summer afternoon—bright, sweet, and full of life.

When autumn arrives, the flavors turn richer and earthier. Roasted kabocha cubes, burnt honey glaze on red onions, and shiitake medallions become the stars. A base of sage infused cream works wonderfully, or a light drizzle of brown sugar-balsamic reduction. Add crumbled feta for depth, and top with bacon bits for a savory bite. A handful of arugula tossed with a bit of apple cider vinegar added after baking keeps the pizza from feeling too heavy. A sprinkle of toasted pecans adds texture and a hint of fall nuttiness.

Winter may seem limiting, but it’s a time for bold, comforting flavors. Think roasted root vegetables like beets, parsnips, and carrots, caramelized in the oven until jammy. Layer them over a base of black garlic cream and navy bean dip. Add sharp cheddar for richness, and finish with a sprinkle of smoked sea salt and oregano. A drizzle of balsamic reduction adds a touch of brightness to cut through the warmth. Don’t forget crust made with stone-ground rye blend for a nutty, earthy crust.
