Mortadella, Pistachio & Burrata Roman Pizza in Ancaster

About Our Mortadella, Pistachio & Burrata Roman Pizza

Roman style pizza, or pizza in teglia, is a different animal from a New York slice. The dough carries far more water and rests for a long, slow proof, so it bakes into a light, honeycombed crumb with a crisp, almost fried base. That structure is strong enough to carry generous toppings without going soft, which is exactly what this pizza needs.

The toppings go on in two stages. Fior di latte melts in the oven; the mortadella, burrata, pistachio pesto and honey are added afterwards so the cured meat stays silky, the burrata stays cool and loose, and the pistachio keeps its colour and perfume. It is the pizza we point first-time visitors to our Ancaster mercato towards.

What Makes This Roman Pizza Special

The pistachio pesto is made in-house rather than bought in, and we use mortadella di pistacchio so the nut flavour runs through the meat as well as the sauce. Burrata is torn over the top by hand just before it leaves the counter, and the honey is a light drizzle — enough to lift the salt, not enough to make the pizza a dessert.

Pairs Well With

Pair it with an espresso or cappuccino from our bar, or set it beside the Patate e Salsiccia Roman for a two-pizza table. For dessert, the Sicilian cannoli keeps the pistachio and ricotta theme going.
