One of my favorite restaurants in town used to serve the most amazing Fig and Prosciutto Pizza. For some reason that I can’t fathom, they took the pizza off the menu! I knew I had to make it at home, because my love for the Fig and Prosciutto Pizza wasn’t going anywhere. My copycat version is my most-requested pizza when we have guests over for pizza night. It’s a great way to add in a non-traditional pizza!
Tip: If you don’t like arugula, leave it off – this pizza is still delicious. Though my definite preference is with arugula, so I’d encourage you to at least try it!
