Vegetariana
Vegetarian pizza with bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant and cherry tomatoes
About This Pizza
A celebration of Mediterranean vegetables at their peak, the Vegetariana showcases the incredible diversity and flavor of plant-based ingredients. Each vegetable is carefully prepared to highlight its natural characteristics: bell peppers are roasted to concentrate their sweetness, zucchini is lightly grilled to maintain its texture, eggplant is salted and pressed to remove bitterness, and cherry tomatoes burst with concentrated flavor. This pizza proves that vegetarian cuisine can be every bit as satisfying and complex as its meat-based counterparts.
The Story Behind
The Vegetariana pizza gained prominence during the 1980s health-conscious movement in Italy, particularly in regions like Liguria where vegetables have always played a central role in local cuisine. Influenced by the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on fresh produce, innovative pizzaiolos began creating vegetable-forward pizzas that went beyond simple tomato and cheese. The combination was perfected in coastal towns where fresh vegetables were abundant and the lighter style suited the warm climate.
