Pizza, but not as we know it...

Introducing Pizza without tomatoes. Yes, WITHOUT tomatoes. Surely that's like lemonade without lemons. Well, apparently it works, which is why Waitrose has released this new wood-fired mushroom and gorgonzola pizza. It's a hand stretched base topped with kale,roasted portobellini and oyster mushrooms, sweet balsamic onions and Italian blue cheese, with a creamy white sauce rather than your standard tomato sauce. This is the first ‘white pizza’ Waitrose has ever sold. But I reckon once you’ve tried it, you’ll wonder why it took them so long.
300g, introductory price of £2.52 until June 9



This is known as a 'pizza bianca', and it may be that this really takes off in the UK. Pizza Express, for example, now have a pizza bianca called 'La Regina', which is smoked ham hock, chestnut mushroom, buffalo mozzarella, garlic oil and black pepper on a béchamel base, finished with freshly chopped parsley and black truffle oil.
This might be worth sacrificing your tomatoes for.
