You may think you know mozzarella, but you've hardly met her! Mozzarella is in supreme form here, with the variation known as burrata. Rich and creamy beyond your cheesiest wishes, it tops a tomato sauce made with pungent garlic and shallot. Garnished with pesto for the flavor and tricolor appeal, let your foray into the expanded mozzarella universe be merely the beginning of many happy burrata-filled nights.

Very easy directions to follow and a quick meal that even my young niece could make on her own, which was a big plus.

The naan was such a good crust choice! Never would've thought of that
-
I thought this pizza was the bomb. Was a great take on margarita pizza with tomatoes and basil!!
-
As much as we've loved other meals this one was my favorite so far. Sounds weird to say that about pizza and a salad but they were AMAZING. I wish I could give it 10 stars!!

This was one of my favorite things so far. I never had burrata before and it was delicious!
