What is the PINSA ROMANA?

Discover the light and tasty alternative to pizza

Discover

Pinsa Romana is a delicious alternative to traditional pizza, known for its lightness, high digestibility, and authentic flavor. Unlike classic pizza, pinsa is made with a high-hydration dough (up to 80%) and a long natural fermentation of at least 48 hours, resulting in a dough that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The pinsa dough stands out thanks to a carefully selected blend of flours: wheat flour, rice flour, soy flour, and dried sourdough starter. This unique mix not only enhances the flavor but also makes the final product easier to digest.

Why choose pinsa?

  • Fewer calories and less fat than traditional pizza
  • More digestible, ideal even for those with gluten sensitivity (though not gluten-free)
  • Crispy outside, soft inside, perfect for any occasion
  • Great for countless variations: from the classic margherita to gourmet toppings
