A modern cloud-like pizza, that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Our dough is made with a blend of soy, rice, and wheat flours sourced from Rome. It then gets a long 72-hour rise and is shaped by hand, helping give pinsas their signature airy interior and crisp exterior textures.
MEET THE
PINSA ROMANA
“When we signed the lease for the first Montesacro, I imagined a casual rustic place for people to gather together, enjoying a pinsa with seasonal toppings, that is gentle with the stomach, but a delicious experience for your palate. I couldn’t believe pinsa had not yet been brought the United States.”
— Gianluca, Owner & Founder
A hardscrabble working-class quarter, Montesacro is the name of a neighborhood in Rome, where founder Gianluca Legrottaglie was born. We pay homage to the people, and their beautiful culinary traditions. We take inspiration from the classic "fraschette" of Lazio, old taverns where they only served the famous wine of the region, usually poured straight from the barrel, and patrons sat down on benches along long wooden tables.
