Described as tasting like the beach, this white clam sauce pizza recipe is one you will be obsessed with all summer long, especially given that today is officially the first day of summer. From food blogger Jessica Merchant of How Sweet It Is, the homemade pizza does not just feature fish sauce, but a chili-infused oil as well.

The flavor-packed clam pizza includes a dough made from scratch, [cheese-incorporating clam sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-jalapeo-popper-pizza) and a [chili oil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crackjack-pizza) made out of crushed red pepper flakes and extra virgin olive oil. If you want to attempt the white clam sauce pizza at home, you will need summery ingredients including a dry white wine such as chardonnay and fresh littleneck clams as well as heavy cream, provolone and parmesan cheese.
