PAN PIZZA with peppers and cherry tomatoes
Padellino pizza, pan pizza or Piedmontese pan pizza? However you choose to call it, this pizza is a delicious, irresistible creation.

Whether by chance or not, we are indeed lucky to have this pizza, which we can prepare and enjoy with simple, genuine flavors. It only takes a few ingredients and less than 15 minutes to be enveloped by its aroma and fall in love with its soft texture inside and crispy crust.
