Pizzeria Salad

The Pizzeria Salad is a vibrant medley of flavors and textures. Fresh spring mix greens, ripe Roma tomatoes, and savory mini pepperoni slices create a colorful base. Fragrant pesto and smoky roasted red peppers add depth, while creamy mozzarella cubes enrich every bite. A tangy red wine vinaigrette ties it all together. Tossed and served with dollops of pesto, it’s a delightful starter or main course, reminiscent of classic pizzeria tastes.
