Excellent pizza with pistachio cream and porcini mushrooms!
Rating: 8/10
Panificio La Farina Antony, in Catania, stands out from most bakeries thanks to their attention to detail in every sweet and savory baked good, often with a special focus on pistachios! We tried their new "Pizzacchissima", a pizza with pistachio cream and porcini mushrooms.
The pizza is topped with: pistachio cream, porcini mushroom cream, mozzarella, pistachio flour, and pistachio pieces.
The appearance is truly inviting, and you can choose between the classic and maxi sizes. Green dominates, though you can also spot the "grey" of the mushroom cream.
The dough is truly excellent, definitely superior to most bakery and takeaway pizzas, which often have tough, unrefined crusts. In this case, the dough is just the right thickness and, above all, has an excellent balance of crunchiness and softness, highlighting a remarkable care for the base.
The two creams (pistachio and porcini) are delicious and the flavors blend perfectly, creating a fantastic taste. Clearly, the flavor of the mushrooms "covers" the pistachio slightly, but the latter remains present and clearly distinct. The chopped pistachios and pistachio pieces, both of excellent quality, make a vital contribution to emphasizing the pistachio flavor.
Without a doubt, an exquisite pizza that deserves to be tried if you love mushrooms and the way they pair with the sweetness of pistachio. You can either order it to take home or grab a slice on the go for a quick lunch or dinner.
