The story
The Tartufella con Tartufo Abruzzese, Rosbeef Inglese, Fior di Latte e Schiacciata di Patate Viola is a gourmet pizza created at **Orrera Piz** in Varcaturo, Italy. This dish exemplifies the modern Neapolitan trend of incorporating premium, often non-traditional, ingredients onto a pizza base. Its name translates to "Truffle Pizza with Abruzzese Truffle, English Roast Beef, Fior di Latte, and Crushed Purple Potato."
The pizza’s foundation is a classic Neapolitan-style dough, prized for its soft, airy cornicione. It is then layered with creamy **fior di latte** mozzarella and topped with thinly sliced, high-quality **English roast beef**, which provides a savory, umami-rich contrast. The defining elements are the generous shavings of **Tartufo Abruzzese** (black truffle from the Abruzzo region), lending an earthy, aromatic luxury, and a **schiacciata di patate viola**—a crushed purple potato topping that adds a vibrant color, creamy texture, and subtle sweetness. A great version balances the robust beef and truffle without overwhelming the delicate cheese and potato.
As highlighted by the food influencer **Jana Food Porn**, who documented the dish, Orrera Piz is the primary venue for this specific creation. While the pizza is a signature of this single location, it reflects a broader regional variation found in Campania and beyond, where pizzerias experiment with luxury ingredients like truffle and roast beef, moving beyond the classic Margherita.
