Our pizza honours Carolina, Antonio’s mum (Fatto a Mano’s Head of Food). Her homemade recipe for Neapolitan ‘polpetta’ creates the perfect meatballs for our pizza special. Our spicy sauce is inspired by Penne alla Vodka, a popular dish in 1980s Italy and the USA, the alcohol enhancing the tomato sauce’s flavours. We combine pancetta, onion, garlic, and tomato, finishing with cream and vodka. We add Carolina’s (secret recipe!) Neapolitan meatballs and, when fresh out the oven, top the pizza with pecorino, basil, and pepper. The vodka is from our friends at East London Liquor Co., made from British wheat and distilled in copper pot stills.
This pizza is perfect with our new collaboration beer x UnBarred Brewery, Amalfi Lemon & Basil Pale Ale 6.0%, brewed with fresh, hand zested Amalfi lemons and basil. A refreshing, herbaceous match to Carolina’s Meatballs.
Buon divertimento!
