The port city of Marseille in the south of France is a destination to drool over when it comes to local cuisine. From bouillabaisse (a seafood soup) and poutargue (salted and dried mullet roe) to madeleines (a shell-shaped sponge cake), specialties abound. 

With a focus on traditional ingredients and Marseillian flavors, France-based food writer, YouTube host and photographer Guillaume Marinette (@guillaume.marinette) created a recipe for “moit-moit” (half-and-half) pizza. As it turns out, pizza has long been a specialty of Marseille, a story rooted in the Neapolitan influence on the city, and residents from the outskirts of Provence introduced the capital city to the moit-moit. 

The pie blends the best of two worlds, so there’s more to choose from (and more to enjoy!). With a base of tomato and onion coulis (a sauce of pureéd fruits or vegetables), one side has mozzarella, the other anchovies and pistou (a cold olive oil sauce) base with Parmesan. And while the more traditional cheese of choice here is Emmental, Guillaume recommends mozzarella for a more melt-in-the-mouth experience and a sprinkling of olives. 

The resulting half-and-half pizza will please various palates, blending fresh herbs, briny anchovies and black olives, subtly sweet tomatoes and gooey cheese. Prepare to be 100% satisfied.
