Potato and Clam Pizza with Pancetta and Calabrian Chile Sauce

Grilled pizza on a weeknight? It’s easy with our ready-made sauce. Here, we top the sauce with thinly sliced potatoes, clams and mozzarella cheese, then bake the pizza using our steel grill pan. This specially designed pan absorbs and transfers the heat from the grill to produce a crisp crust and perfectly cooked toppings.
