Get ready for a pizza revolution! Ask Italian has just unveiled its newest pizza range, and it's a game-changer. The secret? Hand-stretched pizzas that spill over the plate, creating a mouthwatering spectacle.
Brighton and Hove News got a first-hand experience of this innovative range at the Ship Street branch. We couldn't resist trying four of the ten new pizzas on offer: Truffle Funghi, Pomodoro Pesto, Pollo Coppa e Funghi, and the Calzone Carne Piccante. Each pizza lived up to its promise, with a blistered crust and a generous spread that overflowed the plate, requiring a pair of scissors for a proper cut.
The Truffle Funghi was a unique take on a white pizza, featuring mushrooms, truffle marscapone, and mozzarella atop a creamy carbonara base. This combination could have been overwhelming, but Ask Italian's chefs crafted a delicate balance, resulting in a light, umami-rich delight.
The Pomodoro Pesto added a vibrant twist to a vegan favorite, while the Pollo Coppa e Funghi offered a classic chicken, ham, and mushroom combo with a twist. And for meat lovers, the Calzone Carne Piccante was a spicy, indulgent treat with red wine ragu, pepperoni, ham, and beef.
Despite the generous portions (and the tempting cocktails and olives to start), we couldn't resist ordering dessert. The Sicilian lemon tart and caramello chocolate torta were the perfect sweet endings to our pizza adventure.
Katy Pigg, Ask Italian's master pizzaiolo, shared the science behind the craft: "14-inches is the magic number for a perfect topping balance, ensuring the crust isn't overloaded while still spreading to the edges." She added, "It's that moment when you cut the perfect pizza, with each slice oozing cheese and the dough crisp and caramelized - it's an experience that makes your mouth water."
Jemma Townsend, Ask Italian's marketing director, highlighted the trend towards gourmet and artisanal pizza styles in the UK. "It's about superior recipes and a social experience. Enjoying generous pizzas that you cut with scissors - it's the proper way to indulge."
