Herb
Pizza Thyme
B tier
Pizza thyme is a marketing name for thyme selections with a bold, oregano-adjacent savoury profile suited to tomato, cheese, and grilled flatbreads—sometimes broader leaves, always a punchy dried-herb character on pizza and focaccia. Use on red sauces and garlic oil breads where you want thyme to show. Not as citrus as lemon thyme; closer to classic Mediterranean savoury. A fun labelled plant for kitchen gardens aimed at Italian weeknight cooking.
