The story

About the dish

The central flavors in Pizza con Fiori di Zucca, Stracciatella e Alici come from squash blossoms, stracciatella, and anchovies. The documented 48-hour leavening develops the dough’s aroma and structure in the dish. It lets squash blossoms bring a clear, distinctive flavor of its own; stracciatella bring soft, fresh dairy richness; anchovies bring saline intensity and concentrated umami.

It also belongs to pizza’s living social craft: UNESCO describes Neapolitan pizzaiuolo knowledge as something passed through gesture, observation and work at the oven. In this pie, squash blossoms gives it its own immediate flavor signature.
