One of the things Derrick Tung loves just as much as pizza is the creative collaboration that goes into inventing new pies. He and his team put a lot of thought—and flavor—into their menu, and it’s truly a group effort. This pie is the invention of Paulie Gee’s chef partner, Tony Dezutter, who was inspired by his mother’s Christmas dinner of porchetta with fresh fruit. Gettin’ Figgy With It features concentrated fig jam to really bring out the fruit flavor. It pairs well with the pork, while the olives add a subtle briny saltiness that’s a perfect combination to gets customers’ tastebuds dancing.
