Pizza with cured meat and arugula usually has a pizza crust, tomato sauce, cheese, thin slices of cured meat, and fresh arugula. The exact meat and cheese vary by recipe, while the arugula is commonly added after baking.
To make pizza with cured meat and arugula, top the dough with sauce, cheese, and cured meat, then bake until the crust is cooked and the cheese melts. Scatter fresh arugula over the hot pizza just before serving.
Pizza with cured meat and arugula can use different cured meats, such as prosciutto or bresaola, depending on the recipe. Thin slices work best because they distribute easily over the pizza without overwhelming the crust.
Add arugula to pizza with cured meat and arugula after baking. The residual heat softens it slightly, while adding it before baking can wilt the leaves too much and dull their peppery flavor.
Mozzarella is a common choice for pizza with cured meat and arugula because its mild, creamy taste balances the meat and peppery greens. A little Parmesan added after baking can provide a sharper finish without making the topping too heavy.
Tomato sauce is a familiar base for pizza with cured meat and arugula, but some versions use a light olive-oil base instead. A thinner layer keeps the crust from becoming soggy and lets the cured meat and fresh greens stand out.
Pizza with cured meat and arugula combines savory, often salty cured meat with creamy cheese and arugula’s fresh peppery bite. The contrast is strongest when the greens are added after baking and the meat is sliced thinly.
Yes, you can freeze baked pizza with cured meat and arugula, although the arugula will lose its fresh texture. For a better result, freeze the cooked pizza without the greens and add fresh arugula after reheating.
Reheat pizza with cured meat and arugula in a covered skillet over low heat, or in an oven until warmed through. Avoid microwaving if you want a firmer crust, and add fresh arugula afterward if the original leaves have wilted.
Make pizza with cured meat and arugula less salty by using a smaller amount of cured meat and choosing a milder, less salty cheese. Skip extra salt in the sauce and finish with fresh arugula, which adds flavor without relying on salt.

Pizza with cured meat and arugula brings together a baked pizza base, typically topped with tomato sauce and cheese, slices of cured meat, and peppery arugula. The topping combination draws on Italian pizza traditions; the greens are often added after baking so they stay fresh and lightly crisp against the savoury meat and melted cheese.
It works well as a casual lunch or dinner, served by the slice with a green salad. The cured meat gives it a notable amount of protein, while the overall dish is relatively high in sodium. For a lighter plate, pair a smaller slice with salad and avoid adding extra cheese.
