Roasted Pumpkin Pizza with ‘Nduja: A Sweet & Spicy Fall Favorite!

Discover how to make a delicious pumpkin pizza that’s a perfect alternative to the classic tomato-based pizza. This pumpkin puree pizza recipe showcases the rich, caramelized flavor of roasted pumpkin, creating a deep, complex taste that elevates your pizza to the next level. Roasting pumpkin enhances its natural sweetness and depth, setting it apart from the more common boiled method.

The indigenous peoples of North America were the first to domesticate pumpkins, using them as a key food source. As pumpkins spread to other parts of the world, they became integrated into global cuisines. In some countries, pumpkins are primarily used in savory dishes, while in others, they are sweetened and used in desserts. Every part of the pumpkin is edible—the flesh, seeds, leaves, and even the flowers can be cooked and eaten.

To enhance the roasted pumpkin pizza, add ‘nduja, a spicy Calabrian sausage paste known for its bold, floral heat and aromatic flavors. ‘Nduja has a spreadable soft texture and fiery kick thanks to the generous use of Calabrian chili peppers. Historically, it was created as a way to use up pork scraps and offcuts, making it an affordable food for the poorer communities.

Adding small dollops of ‘nduja creates bursts of intense flavour that melt into the pizza, complementing the sweet pumpkin base beautifully.

For the ultimate pumpkin pizza experience, the Revolve brings out the best in both the crust and the toppings. The high, even heat of the oven ensures that the pumpkin puree, ‘nduja, and dough cook perfectly together. The rotating stone distributes heat evenly, allowing the pizza to get a consistent, crispy crust without needing to turn it manually. This even cooking helps caramelize the pumpkin further while ensuring the ‘nduja melts and spreads, infusing every bite with its spicy, savory goodness. For an artisan-quality pizza, the Revolve enhances every element.

This pumpkin pizza with ‘nduja is a perfect autumnal dish, offering a unique blend of sweet, spicy, and creamy flavours that make it stand out at any pizza night. Whether you’re looking to try something new or impress your guests, this recipe is a must-try for pizza lovers seeking rich, complex tastes.
