Pizza's history stretches back to ancient civilizations using flatbreads as edible plates. Modern pizza, however, emerged in Naples, Italy, in the 18th or early 19th century, evolving from flatbreads sold to the poor. Fomeria's Special Pizza is a modern take, building upon these traditional roots with unique, proprietary ingredients and techniques.
While pizza, in general, is a global food phenomenon representing casual dining and communal sharing, Fomeria's Special Pizza adds a layer of sophistication and craft. It is often seen as a treat, a dish to be savored and enjoyed in a more refined setting than typical pizza.
Celebration Dish
Due to its premium ingredients and complex flavors, Fomeria's Special Pizza is often ordered for special occasions or celebratory meals.
Sharing and Conversation
Although more upscale, the pizza is still typically enjoyed in a group setting, promoting conversation and shared experience around the table.
Fomeria's Special Pizza boasts a complex and layered flavor profile. It balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami elements, creating a uniquely satisfying experience.
The pizza starts with a sourdough crust made using a 72-hour fermentation process, lending a tangy, complex flavor. The sauce is a blend of San Marzano tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and a hint of Calabrian chili for subtle heat. Unique to Fomeria are the toppings: 'Fomeria's Secret Sausage' (a blend of pork, fennel, and undisclosed spices), caramelized balsamic onions, roasted artichoke hearts marinated in lemon and herbs, and a four-cheese blend of mozzarella, provolone, asiago, and a sprinkle of Pecorino Romano. A drizzle of truffle oil finishes the pizza, adding an earthy richness.
Wine Pairing
Pair this pizza with a medium-bodied red wine such as a Chianti Classico or a lighter-bodied Pinot Noir to complement the rich flavors.
Eat it Fresh
The complex flavors and textures are best experienced when the pizza is fresh out of the oven. Avoid letting it sit for too long.
Don't Overload on Sides
The pizza itself is quite rich and flavorful. Opt for a light salad or simple appetizer to avoid overwhelming your palate.
