Montanara Starita
I love this Montanara Starita — it's double-cooked, first fried then baked, and the crust is so light and airy. The Neapolitan sauce is sweet and tangy, the smoked provola adds a nice smoky depth, and the Pecorino Romano gives it a salty kick. The basil on top is fresh and fragrant. This is a must-try here.
Miss Italia
The Miss Italia is fantastic — the mozzarella from Campania is so creamy, and the Parma ham is delicate and salty. The arugula adds a peppery freshness, and the Grana Padano flakes give it a nutty, crunchy finish. It's a classic combination that works perfectly.
Pistacchio e mortadella
This Pistacchio e Mortadella is amazing — the pistachio pesto is rich and nutty, and the mortadella is so tender and flavorful. The smoked provola adds a creamy, smoky element, and the basil ties it all together. It's a unique and delicious pizza.
Pistachio and Sausage
The Pistachio and Sausage pizza is great — the pistachio pesto is nutty and creamy, and the sausage is savory and well-seasoned. The smoked provola adds a nice smoky richness, and the basil gives it a fresh finish. It's a hearty and flavorful pizza.

The Romana is a classic — the tomato sauce is bright and tangy, the fiordilatte mozzarella is creamy, and the anchovies add a salty, umami punch. The Gaeta olives are briny and the basil is fresh. It's a simple but perfect pizza.

Montanara Starita
The Montanara Starita is double-cooked: first fried, then oven-baked. It's topped with Neapolitan sauce, smoked provola, Pecorino Romano, and basil. The double cooking gives it a unique texture — crispy from the fry, then soft from the oven. I really enjoyed this one.
