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.
