  • Chiuchow-style pickled vegetables — If you can't find Chiuchow-style pickled vegetables, you can substitute with other tangy pickled vegetables like pickled radishes or kimchi.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, add some sliced Chiuchow-style chili peppers as a topping.
  • Experiment with different Chiuchow-style pickled vegetables to customize the flavors of your pizza.
  • If you prefer a thicker crust, you can use a pre-made Chiuchow-style pancake as the base instead of pizza dough.
  • Serve the pizza with a side of Chiuchow-style chili oil for dipping or drizzling.
  • Leftover Chiuchow-style Pizza Carrettiera can be enjoyed cold as a tasty snack.
