The story

About the dish

Pears bring a gentle sweetness to Davanti’s pizza, baked on dough that has leavened for 48 hours. Caciotta adds a mellow cheese layer, and black pepper gives the fruit and cheese a warm, aromatic finish.

Caciotta is an Italian cheese name derived from cacio, the word for cheese. Treccani describes it as a tender cheese eaten fresh or aged. Here, Chef Roberto places it alongside pears and pepper, keeping the topping focused on the interplay of cheese, fruit and spice.
