Can I add 'nduja?
'nduja — the apostrophe at the start represents a dropped vowel. Pronounced 'n-DU-ya' — three syllables, stress on second.
When you want to add an extra topping to a pizza that does not already include it.
'Aggiungere' = to add. 'La nduja' is a spreadable spicy Calabrian pork salume — excellent on pizza, where the heat of the oven melts it into a spicy oil. It is one of Italy's most celebrated preserved meats.

'Nduja originates from Spilinga, a small town in Calabria. It is a spreadable sausage made from pork scraps and Calabrian chilli ('peperoncino calabrese'). At room temperature it is soft; when heated on pizza it melts into a spicy, aromatic oil that infuses every bite. It has become Italy's most talked-about artisan ingredient of the past decade.
