Explore the deliciousness of Pizza Tacos, a unique Italian recipe that will surprise your taste buds with every bite.

Pizza Tacos (Pizza Pieghina)

Pizza tacos, or pizza pieghina, is an original and super tasty street food that will surprise you with the first bite! The soft yet elastic and well-aerated dough of contemporary pizza encapsulates all the tradition of Neapolitan pizza, while the crescent shape resembles that of tacos, making it perfect for holding rich and hearty fillings.

In this version, mortadella pairs wonderfully with the smoky flavor of eggplant, while stracciatella adds creaminess to the filling. But Pizza Tacos is also an ideal base for customization: feel free to stuff it with cured meats, vegetables, cheeses, or seafood, creating new combinations each time.

The result is a modern and creative dish to share with friends and family… once you try Pizza Tacos, you won’t be able to live without it!
