Four Meats to Top Your Pinsa With

The cloud-like crispiness and dynamic flavor of Pedone Pinsa delivers divine deliciousness—no matter how you top. However, there are several Italian meats that pair exceptionally well with our par-baked crusts. Combined with a variety of sauces, cheeses, and accompaniments, these meat selections are sure to satisfy any dinner guest.

Prosciutto

Freshly sliced prosciutto? Delizioso! This salty, savory meat is truly an Italian icon. Top your oven-crisped pinsa creation with freshly sliced prosciutto, or add prior to baking for a crispy addition. Prosciutto complements nutty and fruit flavors perfectly—try pairing it with nuts, arugula, or jam! 

Spicy Italian Sausage

Spicy Italian sausage will add a savory kick to your Pedone Pinsa. For meat lovers and Italian enthusiasts, this classic meat choice pairs to perfection with any tomato sauce. With notes of garlic, fennel, crushed red pepper, and oregano, this sausage brings a zesty, yet herbal, taste to your dish. Accompany it with soft cheeses, tomato sauces, and fresh vegetables to complement its heat. 

Pancetta

With its abundantly salty flavor and rich, tender texture, pancetta is a delicious cut of pork that elevates any pinsa creation. This classic Italian ingredient, known for its subtle balance of fat and lean meat, satisfies every bite. Commonly sold in cubes, it can be quickly pan-fried to a perfectly crispy finish. Its saltiness complements bold flavors brilliantly, making it a perfect pinsa topping. Paired with sweet figs, nutty arugula, creamy gorgonzola, and a drizzle of hot honey, pancetta will have everyone reaching for a second or third slice!

Mortadella

Mortadella is definitely della-icious! This cold cut of meat fuses together savory Italian sausage, salty pistachios, and a hint of sweetness. Mortadella brings a taste of Italian deli culture to any dish. You can find freshly-slice mortadella at most Italian delis and markets. Pair it on a pinsa with pesto, burrata, roasted peppers, and fresh basil—buon appetito!
