If you have not come upon ramps or edible wild mushrooms during a foraging trek, you can look to farmers markets, or farm stands to gather the ingredients for this tasty homemade white pizza infused with seasonal ingredients.

Wild Mushrooms and Foraged Ramp Sauce are a Delicious Pizza Topper Combination. Make a truly unique pizza offering with this recipe. This Green Ramp and Wild Mushroom White Pizza is truly one of a kind and can only be made seasonally because of the foraged springtime ingredients.
Serving this ramp and mushroom pizza up to friends and family is a real treat, and a great table conversation. Foraged ingredients you say? Sustainable? Local? These are all components of this dish that really make it special, (besides how amazing the pizza tastes, obviously!)
This pizza serves 4 and is a nice dinner option when paired with a salad. The homemade spring ramp sauce is the perfect premade base for a white pizza, it’s filled with the punchy, garlicky flavors of fresh foraged ramps.
The pizza dough for this recipe is store bought, (of course you can always knead up your own ball if you prefer). This is a thin crust pizza, so the dough should be rolled to the thinnest possible before placing in the oven. I like to set my store-bought pizza dough on a flour covered, large cutting board on top of the oven as it preheats. This brings the dough up to room temperature quickly and makes the pizza dough much more pliable and easy to handle.
Once your pizza dough is at room temperature, it is much easier to handle. You can always use the rolling pin method to roll out your dough or stretch it on top of your hands. Rolling will create a uniform crust, hand stretching will create the thinnest crust, but there may be some uneven spots.
I can’t find wild mushrooms, can I substitute another variety?
Absolutely! Button, cremini and shiitake mushrooms are some other types of mushrooms that work well in this recipe.
Can I add extra toppings from ingredients I have on hand?
Yes, caramelized onions, drizzled truffle oil or a little thyme will work great with this recipe. Just make sure to keep the extra ingredients light, you don’t want to overpower the ramp sauce and mushrooms.
Storing Wild mushroom and ramp pizza:
Store the pizza covered in the refrigerator for up 3 days. To reheat use the oven on a low setting or warm up in the air fryer. I don’t recommend the microwave for reheating, it can dry the mushrooms out.
