The story

About the dish

At the heart of Pizza con Mortadella, Squacquerone e Pistacchio are squacquerone, mortadella, arugula, and pistachios. The documented 48-hour leavening develops the dough’s aroma and structure in the dish. In the dish, squacquerone sets soft, fresh dairy richness against salt-cured depth and rounded savor from mortadella and a fresh vegetal edge with pleasant bitterness from arugula.

Behind the dish is a craft learned at the bench and oven. UNESCO’s account of the Neapolitan pizzaiuolo tradition emphasizes knowledge shared through practice, while squacquerone supplies the defining taste in the dish.
