[SOLO PIZZA Napoletana]Pizza Croccante currently offers five menu options. The "Rossa," topped with cheese and basil on their original tomato sauce, is a familiar and classic flavor. The "Nera," with its rich flavor from their secret squid ink sauce, and the "Marone," topped with potatoes on a sauce made from simmered onions and pork, offer a different kind of pizza experience. While typical pizzas are made only with wheat flour, Pizza Croccante uses "Aria," a top-quality blend of flour from Caputo that includes yeast flour in addition to wheat flour. The reason it's easy to digest and light is that the starch and gluten, which are said to be the cause of feeling heavy after eating pizza, are broken down through "long fermentation." This results in a dough that is satisfying yet light on the stomach—an ideal combination. First, try comparing your usual pizza with Pizza Croccante's.
