Pizza Heroes

It goes without saying that the cheese base for most of your pizza creations should be a standard of stringy, gooey, molten mozzarella. But where do we go from there?

After the base, cheese is the most fundamental and functional element of any pizza so ensure that you only plump for premium. Strong blues, rich camemberts and creamy goat cheeses are a great start.

Whether you are designing an extravagant quattro formaggi, a decadent cheese and charcuterie affair or just want to highlight an individual cheese – these are our recommended heroes:

We are proud of our ability to source only the very best quality charcuterie. As such, your pizza should be adorned with these exceptional products. Maybe a good place to start is by cooking chorizo on the base in a hot oven to let the gorgeous oils and spices weep out and accentuate the flavours across the whole canvas.

Drape thinly sliced fresh culatello over your finished Regina to embellish it in the most beautifully textured and subtly nuanced way. Perhaps a trout and goat cheese combo adorned with fresh herbs and drizzled with olive oil and lemon will knock the lights out? How about biltong on pizza, we are in South Africa after all?

The X-Factor that veggies bring to a pizza party is still weirdly underrated and underappreciated, but we want them to take centre stage and surprise your guests. Enhance a marinara sauce by utilising Sol’s slow roasted tomato, or just add them directly onto the pizza for pockets of glorious umami flavour.

If subtlety is your game, introduce grilled fennel to bring texture and diversity to a slightly off-centre creation. There’s nothing like the fleshy, salty pop of an olive on a pizza and no flavour quite as authentic. Got a really rich pizza, why not offset that with our delectable pickled cucumber post bake to cut through the fattyness with a tangy zing?

When it’s time to serve, dress your pizzas with exceptional extra virgin olive oil and botanical infused vinegars for an experience that your friends will struggle to recreate at the city’s finest Italian restaurants.
