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.
