Strawberita Pizza
What do you get when you incorporate fresh strawberries into the tomato sauce for an otherwise classic margarita pizza recipe? A strawberita, of course. The berries are a surprising addition—they give the sauce a bright, fruity quality that tastes right at home on a pizza crust, and it’s a great way to make the best of unripe strawberries out of season.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 can crushed san marzano tomatoes
- 1 pint strawberries hulled and sliced
- 10 fresh basil leaves torn into pieces
- red pepper flakes for sprinkling

Directions
Sauté the chopped onion in the olive oil over medium-low heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and strawberries and simmer until the strawberries have cooked down and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
Make a margherita pizza in the usual way, spreading the strawberry-tomato sauce on the dough instead of puréed tomatoes.
Sprinkle with the torn basil leaves and some red pepper flakes before serving.
