Northern Italian

Refined, cream-based pizzas inspired by the sophisticated flavors of Northern Italy.

Northern Italian pizzas take cues from the rich culinary traditions of Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, and Piedmont. Cream sauces, fontina, taleggio, truffle, and mortadella create refined, sophisticated pies. The emphasis is on butter, cream, and mild luxury rather than the tomato-forward boldness of the south.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Northern Italian pizza differ from Southern?

Northern Italian pizza tends to use cream-based sauces, butter, and mild cheeses like fontina and taleggio rather than tomato sauce and mozzarella. The flavors are more subtle and refined, focusing on luxury ingredients like truffle and prosciutto.

What is the best cheese for Northern Italian-style pizza?

Fontina from Val d'Aosta is the classic choice โ€” its buttery melt and mild flavor complement truffle and cream sauces perfectly. Taleggio adds a more pungent, washed-rind character.
