Why Roman Pan Pizza?

Made for takeout

Roman Style Pan pizza is sold by the slice, and is perfect for lunch, takeout and reheating.

The original Pan Pizza

Roman style pizza uses a high hydration dough baked on a rectangular pan instead of a circle.

Top Toppings

Explore new toppings that you've never used on pizza before. Top before baking, after, or both for a unique combination of flavors.

A unique crust

The high hydration dough is hand massaged to produce lots of bubbles. The end result is a light, airy, crispy crust that really sets it apart from other pizzas.

Hands On Experience

Get hands on with the dough, toppings and equipment as you make your pizzas with the guidance of Massamiliano. Ask him questions about pizza making, or the pizza making industry. Learn how to make Pan Roman Pizza and Pizza Alla Pala a part of your menu that will build business and repeat customers.
