While flatbreads have ancient origins, this specific combination of Italian-American flavors on a flatbread crust is a relatively modern invention, likely emerging from pizzerias and casual dining establishments in the United States that sought to offer a more versatile and shareable alternative to traditional pizza. It draws inspiration from classic Italian-American dishes like sausage and peppers.
This flatbread reflects the Italian-American culinary tradition of adapting classic Italian flavors to American palates and formats, often emphasizing shareability and convenience.

Italian-American Heritage

Customization
Flatbreads are easily customizable, reflecting the American tendency to personalize dishes to individual preferences.
The Good Fellas Flatbread is characterized by a savory, spicy, and slightly tangy flavor profile.
The spicy Italian sausage provides a rich, meaty base with a noticeable kick. Sautéed peppers and onions offer a sweet and savory counterpoint, softened by the cooking process. The three-cheese blend contributes a creamy, melted layer with varied cheesy notes. The banana peppers add a tangy and slightly acidic element, cutting through the richness and adding a subtle heat.
Spice Level Adjustment
If you prefer less spice, opt for mild Italian sausage or reduce the number of banana peppers. For more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Cheese Blend Variation
Experiment with different cheese blends. Provolone, mozzarella, and parmesan are common choices, but you could also add a touch of asiago or fontina for added flavor complexity.
Crust Crispness
To ensure a crispy crust, preheat your baking surface (pizza stone or baking sheet) before placing the flatbread on it. You can also broil the flatbread for the last minute or two of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
