"Pre-made artichokes are sharp little flavor bombs that seem tailor-made for pairing with pizza. While there are plenty of great things about them, the key is their flavor profile. Canned artichokes' briny, lightly-acidic taste is great for cutting against the richness of the cheese and fat in pizza. They also bring a touch of vegetal lightness, despite being meaty and satisfying by the standards of other veggie pizza toppings."
"Canned artichokes are a fantastic anchor topping for a veggie pizza. With such a pungent, briny flavor, they are great for balancing out veggies with complementary flavors. Mushrooms and artichokes are a perfect starting point, as mushrooms' meaty, earthy flavor really benefits from working with canned artichokes' salt and brightness. The acidity of marinated artichokes also helps balance bitter flavors, making them a good pairing with spinach, arugula, or eggplant."
Canned and jarred artichokes deliver a briny, lightly acidic flavor that contrasts and balances the richness of cheese and fat on pizza. Jarred varieties often come seasoned and packed in oil, adding extra flavor with no prep. Precut, tender artichokes go straight from can to oven and can serve as a primary topping or complement other ingredients. They pair especially well with mushrooms, spinach, arugula, and eggplant by offsetting bitterness and enhancing savory notes. Canned vegetables such as olives and roasted peppers also provide convenient, flavorful options for elevating homemade pizza without fresh ingredients.
