Burrata
VegetarianA luscious, cream-filled mozzarella that oozes rich, milky decadence across every slice.
Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese with a solid mozzarella shell encasing a soft, creamy center of stracciatella and cream. Placed on pizza immediately after baking, it slowly melts and spreads, creating rivers of rich, milky indulgence that contrast beautifully with savory and acidic toppings.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should you add burrata to pizza?
Always add burrata after the pizza comes out of the oven. Place a whole ball or torn pieces on the hot pizza so it softens and oozes without cooking, preserving its creamy, fresh character.
What is the difference between burrata and mozzarella?
Burrata has an outer shell of mozzarella but a soft, creamy interior of stracciatella and cream. It is richer, creamier, and more perishable than standard mozzarella.
What goes well with burrata on pizza?
Burrata pairs best with prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and arugula. Start with one or two of these rather than piling everything on: two or three toppings per pizza keeps each flavor distinct.
