You might have heard of this one–they’ve been climbing up the ’50 Prime Pizza Europe’ record www.50toppizza.it and lately made it to #1. Sartoria Panatieri is thought for curing their meats in-house, with mixtures you wouldn’t usually discover on a pizza menu (suppose shaved bottarga, egg yolk, pancetta, and potato slices; sobrasada, mahón cheese, wild fennel, and honey) all served on their excessive hydration dough which yields a pillowy cornicione, or crust.

The title comes from the truth that a few of its eating places are situated in what was a carpark. The vibe is industrial, that includes uncovered concrete partitions and enormous communal tables.

The most effective factor about that’s that you just don’t have to commit to 1 single pizza, as you possibly can take a number of slices with completely different toppings. They alter up their menu very often (a current favorite featured skinny slices of butternut squash, butifarra sausage, and chunks of gorgonzola), they usually additionally supply stable plant-based choices.
