Pizza alla Burrata
Pizza alla Burrata is a true Italian specialty, highlighting the creamy, soft texture of burrata cheese. Burrata is one of the most beloved cheeses in Italian cuisine, consisting of a creamy, soft interior enclosed in a mozzarella shell. This cheese is often used on pizzas because when placed on the hot dough, it melts beautifully, adding a silky, creamy consistency to the dish. If you love intense, yet soft and elegant flavors, this pizza is the perfect choice.
