No matter who wins the World Cup if you make this pizza you will be a champion. Inspired by one of the world’s greatest sandwiches, Choripán, this Chorizo and Chimichurri with Salsa Criolla Pizza scores every time. Traditionally Choripán is a sandwich made with grilled chorizo, split down middle on a toasty roll often with chimichurri. The exact preparation and toppings can vary a bit depending on geography. The version I grew up with was served topped with a version of salsa criolla, the amazing and ubiquitous Peruvian condiment. For this pizza I combine my favorite elements of this top tier sandwich and put it on a batch of my homemade pizza dough, the result, a pizza of world cup championship deliciousness.

The best Eggplant Parmigiana Pizza starts with seeking out the freshest eggplant you can find. For me that means a summer stroll through the amazing Santa Barbara Farmers Market keeping my eye out for something special. For this pizza it’s the Fairy Tale eggplant a miniature variety perfect for pizza, but any fresh eggplant will do. Sticking more to the classic Italian preparation the eggplant is cooked in a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil before topping the pizza with fresh mozzarella cheese and a mixture of fresh tomato, garlic, basil, and olive oil. I throw in a nod to red sauce joint eggplant parmesan by finishing topping the pizza with a generous handful of homemade breadcrumbs. All built on a base of my super easy no knead pizza dough.
