I had my first fig marsala glazed pizza in the DC area. It was at &pizza, a Chipotle-style pizza shop where you pick your own toppings and your pizza is baked right in front of you. It’s one of my favorite places to eat because toppings here don’t just consist of cheese and pepperoni. You’ve got all sorts of goodies like herbs, broccoli, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms and goat cheese to top off your gourmet pizza with. Of course, if you’re a plain Jane pizza lover, you can opt for the more simple pie and stick to tradition. Every time we go, I make sure to ask for the fig marsala glaze. The combination of fig and marsala wine is genius. I recreated the glaze at home for this pizza and the results were as gourmet and delicious as I had hoped. Burrata was just the icing on the cake!
