Yes, capers on pizza. It’s a thing, and it’s incredible—especially if you’re into Mediterranean-style toppings. Try them on a white pizza with ricotta and arugula, or mix them into a tapenade to spread on sandwiches.
Do You Need to Rinse Capers?
This depends on how salty you want your dish to be. Capers that come packed in salt should definitely be rinsed before using unless you enjoy a salt overload. The brined ones are usually fine as-is, but if you find them too strong, a quick rinse won’t hurt.
Capers vs. Caperberries—Wait, There’s a Difference?
Yep, there is. Caperberries are the actual fruit of the caper bush, while capers are just the flower buds. Caperberries are bigger, milder, and usually served more like olives—often with stems still attached. They’re great in cocktails or on charcuterie boards, but they don’t have the same punchy kick that capers do.
