Ask Italian Unveils a New Pizza Range: A Culinary Adventure
Get ready to indulge in a pizza experience like no other! Ask Italian has just launched a new pizza range that's all about pushing the boundaries of traditional pizza-making. With a focus on hand-stretched, oversized pizzas, this new collection promises to spill over your plate with deliciousness. Brighton and Hove News had the pleasure of sampling this innovative range at the chain's Brighton branch in Ship Street.
The menu boasts an impressive ten new pizzas, each crafted with care and attention to detail. We decided to embark on a flavor journey, ordering the Truffle Funghi, Pomodoro Pesto, Pollo Coppa e Funghi, and the Calzone Carne Piccante. These pizzas did not disappoint!
The Truffle Funghi was a masterpiece, featuring a white pizza base topped with mushrooms, truffled mascarpone, and mozzarella. Instead of the usual tomato sauce, it had a creamy carbonara base, creating a unique and delightful contrast. This combination was a triumph, offering a light and earthy umami explosion that surprised and delighted our taste buds.
The Pomodoro Pesto pizza was a vegan's dream, with a generous pesto base brightening up the flavors. The Pollo Coppa e Funghi, packed with chicken, ham, and mushrooms, was a classic combo that hit the spot. And for meat lovers, the Calzone Carne Piccante with its red wine ragu, pepperoni, ham, and beef was a hearty and spicy delight.
Each pizza came with a generous portion, a blistered crust, and a pair of scissors for cutting the chewy base. The presentation was impeccable, and the flavors were on point.
But Ask Italian's expertise goes beyond just the pizzas. Katy Pigg, the master pizzaiolo, reveals the science behind the craft. She explains that the optimal pizza size is 14 inches, allowing for a balanced distribution of toppings without overwhelming the crust. This attention to detail ensures that every slice is a masterpiece, with oozing cheese and a crisp, caramelized stone-baked dough that tantalizes the senses.
Jemma Townsend, the marketing director, adds, "The UK pizza scene has evolved, embracing gourmet and artisanal styles. It's about elevating the pizza experience with superior recipes and a social ambiance. Enjoying these generous pizzas, cut with scissors, is all about embracing the proper way of indulging in pizza goodness."
