Mortadella
Silky Italian deli meat studded with pistachios and peppercorns, adding a luxuriously smooth, porky richness.
Mortadella di Bologna is a heat-cured Italian sausage known for its incredibly smooth texture and flecks of fat, pistachios, and black peppercorns. Folded or diced on pizza, it delivers a gentle, porky sweetness that pairs beautifully with sharp cheeses and fresh greens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is mortadella the same as bologna?
Mortadella is the artisan Italian original that inspired American bologna. It is made with finely ground pork, visible fat cubes, pistachios, and whole peppercorns, resulting in a far more complex and refined flavor.
How should mortadella be added to pizza?
Add thick cubes or ruffled slices of mortadella after baking. The residual heat gently warms the meat, keeping its silky texture and delicate flavor intact.
