PAN PIZZA with peppers and cherry tomatoes
Padellino pizza, pan pizza or Piedmontese pan pizza? However you choose to call it, this pizza is a delicious, irresistible creation. Some say it was invented by accident, leaving the dough, already topped with a bit of tomato, to rest overnight. Whether by chance or not, we are indeed lucky to have this pizza, which we can prepare and enjoy with simple, genuine flavors. It only takes a few ingredients and less than 15 minutes to be enveloped by its aroma and fall in love with its soft texture inside and crispy crust. From Piedmont to every corner of the globe, pan pizza has traveled far and wide, crossing borders and speaking all the languages of the world.
Our pan pizza with peppers, cherry tomatoes, mini mozzarella balls, and a few fresh basil leaves is colorful and inviting, healthy and fun. So easy to make that you'll have to resist the temptation to bring it to the table every day. Actually, why resist? Just add an original touch to the toppings—such as the rich, unmistakable flavor of taggiasca olives—to enjoy a dish that’s always new and always deliciously irresistible.

AUTUMN BRUSCHETTA with extra virgin olive oil
Rustic and with humble origins, it tells a story of necessity and sharing. It is said that bruschetta was born from the need to make bread last when it was scarce, but today, it's one of the most beloved and versatile appetizers.
A dish for all ages, all tastes, and all seasons, but we imagine it with the colors, flavors and atmosphere of autumn.
PINSA with mortadella, pecorino cheese, and balsamic dressing
It is said that its name comes from the Latin verb “pinsère” which meant “to stretch”, and indeed the traditional and characteristic shape of pinsa is just that: stretched. Similar to pizza, but very different in both shape and flavor, pinsa is made through a long leavening process, a mix of flours, and a dough rich in water that gives it extraordinary digestibility.
Our pinsa with mortadella, pecorino, and Goccia Nera balsamic dressing is a colorful and flavorful delight, genuine and nutritious, that will win over both adults and children.
