Uncle Al’s Roasted Vegetable Pizza

Uncle Al’s Roasted Vegetable Pizza delivers vibrant color, fresh flavor, and wood-fired character in every slice. It starts with hand-stretched dough layered with bright San Marzano tomato sauce. As the pizza enters the wood-fired oven, the crust rises quickly, forming blistered edges and a soft interior. This foundation adds subtle smokiness and supports the abundance of fresh vegetables that follow.

Oven-Roasted Tomatoes

Oven-roasted tomatoes create the first layer of sweetness. They cook until their juices concentrate, which intensifies both color and flavor. Additionally, the roasting process adds a light caramelization that blends beautifully with the San Marzano sauce. This tomato-on-tomato combination provides depth without overwhelming the vegetables.

Mushrooms & Zucchini

A mix of mushrooms and fresh zucchini adds earthiness and tender texture. The mushrooms bring deep umami, while the zucchini introduces a mild, slightly sweet profile. As these vegetables roast, they soften while still maintaining structure. Because of this balance, each bite feels hearty but never heavy. Moreover, the vegetables absorb the pizza’s natural wood-fired aroma, enhancing the overall flavor.

Mozzarella & Pesto

Mozzarella melts into silky layers that bind the toppings together. Its mild flavor allows the vegetables to shine while still delivering rich comfort. Pesto enters after baking, adding herbal brightness and a pop of basil. This finishing touch lifts the pizza and keeps the experience fresh from start to finish.

Toasted Pine Nuts

Toasted pine nuts add crunch and warmth. Their nutty profile contrasts with the soft vegetables and creamy cheese. Furthermore, the pine nuts introduce a subtle richness often found in classic Italian dishes.

Why It Works

This pizza works because it blends freshness, richness, and rustic character. The vegetables supply depth. The pesto provides brightness. The pine nuts add texture. Together, they create a balanced, flavorful option that stands out at every Red Rock location.
