Bee Sting Pizza

About this Recipe

The Bee Sting Pizza originated at Roberta’s in Brooklyn and this recipe is Brandi Milloy’s take on the classic. What makes it so iconic? A base of tomato sauce, mozzarella, and thinly sliced soppressata add savory flavors, while honey and chilies add that sweet and spicy note that made it famous.
