One of the key ingredients in pesto is nuts. You can use pretty much any nut you’d prefer based on the flavor you’d like to impart, be it walnut, pecan or pistachio. People with a nut allergy aren’t able to consume the brightness of pesto, but luckily, Oklahoma’s own Hideway Pizza offers a nut-free version, which can be found on its chicken Florentine or substituted on any of its pizzas.
