Meet the Caprese salad that went rogue, slapped on some bacon, and got saucy with smoky taco aioli. It’s bold, it’s messy, and it’s 100% worth it.

This isn’t your Nonna’s Caprese. We took the sweet, fresh charm of the OG—tomatoes, mozzarella, basil—and turned up the heat with spicy, smoky aioli. Then, because we don’t believe in moderation, we invited crispy bacon to the party. The result? A sandwich that’s equal parts Italian chic and unapologetic chaos. Warning: once you try it, plain Caprese may never hit the same again.
