Review
Overview
Context
- Basel!
- Very artsy pizza matches the cities energy
- Complex, a little wonky, difficult to decipher
Crust
- Light, thin, a touch crispy but soft on the inside
- Good charred flavor
Sauce
- Bright tomatoes, very good
Mozzarella
- “Fior di Latte”
- A little creamy, not a strong “cheese” taste
- Amazing texture
Tiroler Speck
- At it’s best tasted like walkers bacon chips, light and flavorful
- Most of the time extremely meaty, almost gamey
- “Tasted like biting into an Animal”
- While regional, perhaps a bit too strong of a flavor. Very overwhelming
- Kind of like a cured meat
Marinated Pineapple
- Hard to tell what they did to it
- Not really enhancing it, but making it more complex
- Diminished the sweetness
- Not bad but sweetness wasn’t compensated for
- Sometimes tomato sauce tasted sweeter and that’s not due to an unusually sweet tomato sauce
Miscellaneous Toppings
- The scallions, while plentiful, didn’t overwhelm
- Nonetheless one of the strongest flavors, behind the speck of course
- Pink Peppercorns - floral, fruity, no spice, more complexity very interesting
Additional Thoughts
- Left us with more questions than answers
