Prosciutto cotto is a favorite Italian preservation of ham that is delightful on a homemade pizza with other simple toppings.
This pizza may not look like anything special, but sometimes simple is best. We found that to be especially true when topping our pizza with the cured pork leg, known as prosciutto cotto. This delicate ham is perfect on its own, with fruit or a great peice of bread. It is also the perfect pizza topping.

Disclosure: We received free Prosciutto Cotto product from Rovagnati to make this pizza.
