Shaun D'Monte Mortazza Schiacciata
The Mortazza has mortadella, pistachio paste, stracciatella cheese, crushed pistachios, rocket, and honey. The overall flavour was towards the sweet side because of the honey - which personally I don’t prefer sweet savoury stuff. However, it was very filling and tasty, packed with fresh ingredients.
Porsche Tang Mamma Mia Schiacciata
The Mamma Mia was legit sooo yumm. Prosciutto crudo, tomato paste, stracciatella cheese, basil, rocket, parmesan, and balsamic vinegar - all of these were superb!
Porsche Tang Vulcano Pizza Slice
The pizza base appears a bit thick but is crunchy on the bottom, nicely toasted, very light and firm, holding shape and the generous ingredients. Gooey cheese, plump juicy black olives, salami, a red chilli which isn't at all hot, rounded off by a juicy tomato sauce.
