Seasonal Spring Veggies to Top Your Pinsa With

March 13, 2025

Spring is in the air! As winter time comes to an end, spring vegetables start to emerge. These seasonal veggies are in-season and ready to come to life atop a Pedone Pinsa crust. While there’s a whole list of produce in-season for spring, these are our favorite seasonal spring veggies to top your pinsa with.

Arugula

One of the best toppings to finish off your pinsa? Arugula! These leafy greens bring freshness and flavor atop any pinsa creation. Arugula is best in-season during the early spring—vibrant with its nutty, peppery flavor profile. Try pairing it on top of a crisped pinsa with melty brie cheese, fresh pear slices, toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of hot honey. Delizioso!

Broccoli

Broccoli’s freshness and flavor peak from winter through early spring, making it a  delicious (and nutritious) addition to your culinary creations! Whether you oven roast it, sautee it, or enjoy it fresh, broccoli comes to life when paired with meats and cheeses. Try making this Broccoli Sausage Pinsa for your next spring dish:

  • Ricotta
  • Shredded mozzarella
  • Roasted broccoli
  • Italian sausage
  • Red pepper flakes and fresh parmesan for garnish—enjoy!

Sweet Onions

This root vegetable is a sweet and savory accompaniment—exerting an irresistible aroma when sauteed. Combining sweet onions with fresh goat’s milk chevre and salty bacon creates a uniquely divine pinsa creation. Try this flavorful fusion with sauteed sweet onions:

  • Goat cheese chevre
  • Sauteed sweet onion
  • Chopped bacon
  • Fresh chives

Mushrooms

Embrace the season and savor the rich, hearty taste of spring mushrooms on your next pinsa! This umami vegetable is a tasty accent alongside bold cheeses, salty meats, and other earthy veggies. While a variety of mushrooms are in season during the spring, the following pair perfectly with pinsa: 

  • Porcini – Woodsy and nutty
  • Shiitake – Earthy and savory
  • Cremini – Mild and umami
  • Morel – Nutty and slightly smoky
