French Adaptation
While inspired by Italian pizza, the Reine highlights French culinary preferences for specific ingredients like ham, and often features a slightly different crust texture compared to traditional Neapolitan pizza.
Premium Feature
Pizza Reine offers a balanced and savory flavor profile, combining the acidity of tomato sauce with the richness of mozzarella, the earthiness of mushrooms, and the saltiness of ham.
The tomato sauce provides a base of tangy sweetness that complements the creamy, mild flavor of the mozzarella cheese. Mushrooms add an earthy, umami note that enhances the overall savory character. Ham contributes a salty, smoky flavor that contrasts nicely with the other ingredients. The baked crust provides a slightly crisp and chewy texture that ties everything together.
Premium Feature
Fresh Ingredients
Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Opt for ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and good quality ham.
Crust Perfection
Pre-bake the pizza crust slightly before adding toppings to prevent a soggy base. This ensures a crispier final product.
Mushroom Preparation
Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the pizza to remove excess moisture and enhance their flavor. You can add garlic and herbs during sautéing.
