Please tell us you are a mushroom lover? When Alex and I went to Big Sur, California last year, we had one incredible mushroom pizza with a breathtaking mountain view. And it tasted so good, we knew we needed to recreate a version for our blog! Our rendition of this pizza is pretty different from the original, but it tastes fantastic: and looks just like the one we had there! It\u2019s a white pizza \u2014 meaning no tomato sauce \u2014 and of course we couldn\u2019t resisting adding tangy goat cheese dollops. Keep reading for the recipe and all our secrets to the best mushroom pizza!<\/p>\n

How to become a mushroom lover (gradually!)<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start by talking about mushrooms. I used to be a passionate mushroom hater. Yep, I didn\u2019t give them a chance until I was well into my 20\u2019s. But I decided to give giant meaty portobellos a chance. After that, I gradually snowballed into eating all <\/em>the mushroom recipes. I\u2019ve since learned these fungi are key in bringing a savory, meaty umami flavor to recipes. Now I\u2019m officially a passionate mushroom fan! (Oh, and also a huge fan of truffles! Try this Truffle Pizza to have your mind blown. Or Truffle Fries\u2026)<\/p>\n

What kind of mushrooms on pizza?<\/h2>\n

Now, what kind of mushrooms go on pizza? Literally any kind of fresh <\/em>mushroom will work here, but not canned. Here\u2019s a few notes on the right ones to add:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Use fresh mushrooms, mixed varieties if you\u2019d like.<\/strong> This recipe uses a mix of fresh mushrooms for texture contrasts. We typically use whatever our local grocery has in stock, or stock up at our farmers market. This mushroom pizza has a mix of baby bella (cremiini) and shiitake mushrooms, but feel free to try oyster, strips of portobello, or white button.<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t use canned! <\/strong>What kind of mushroom should not go on pizza? Canned. Those slimy \u2018shrooms in a can are what caused my 20 plus years of irrational dislike. They\u2019re absolutely not recommended on pizza!<\/li>\n
  • Don\u2019t use raw! <\/strong>Can you use raw mushrooms on pizza? Definitely not. When put into a hot oven, they dry out and become shriveled in the high heat. To eat mushrooms on pizza, saute them first. This recipe calls for sauteing them with fresh herbs and adding a spritz of lemon juice at the end. It\u2019s pretty heavenly!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
