Sweet corn pizza is a fresh and flavorful twist on classic pizza, combining sweet corn, melty cheese, and garlic on a chewy crust. It’s a quick and satisfying vegetarian option perfect for pizza night.

Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned—cooked and drained)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, ricotta cheese, crumbled feta, hot honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  2. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to desired thickness and transfer to a lightly oiled pan or stone.
  3. Brush the dough with olive oil and evenly spread minced garlic over it.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the dough.
  5. Scatter sweet corn and red onion slices across the top.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and top with fresh basil or parsley before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Drain and pat dry canned corn to avoid soggy pizza.
  • Try fontina, goat cheese, or ricotta for variations in flavor and texture.
  • Roast the corn beforehand for a smoky taste.
  • Drizzle hot honey after baking for a sweet-and-spicy kick.
  • Use a grill instead of the oven for added charred flavor.
