What Makes Our Pizza Unique
​
At Vittorio's Pizza House, we do not just make pizza. We believe in creating a pizza experience that stands out from the rest. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail set us apart, and our unique pizza-making process ensures that each bite is a testament to our dedication to excellence. Here's what makes our pizza truly special:
​
The Dough: A Labor of Love
Our dough is the heart of our pizza, and we take great care in crafting it to perfection. We start with a pre-ferment called a poolish, which infuses our dough with a depth of flavor and a light, airy texture that is hard to find elsewhere. The poolish method not only enhances the taste but also allows us to use less yeast, contributing to better digestibility.
This poolish is combined with our other ingredients, and then we let the dough undergo a cold fermentation process for 48 hours in the refrigerator. This extended fermentation period allows the flavors to develop fully, resulting in a dough that is rich, complex, and easy to digest.
​
The Proofing Process: Patience Pays Off
Once our dough ball reaches room
temperature and is ready for the next step, we take a different approach from the typical high-temperature, quick-bake method.
Instead of rushing the process, we push the dough out into pans and let it proof for an additional three to four hours. This crucial step allows the dough to rise slowly and evenly, creating a tender, flavorful crust with a perfect balance of chewiness and crispness.
​
The Baking: A Two-Step Mastery
Our baking process is where our pizza truly distinguishes itself. We begin by par baking the proofed dough for 10 minutes. This initial bake helps to set the crust, ensuring it remains sturdy and flavorful. After this par bake, we add our carefully selected toppings and finish the pizza with a second bake for another 10 minutes. This two-step baking process, totaling 20 minutes, guarantees a perfectly cooked pizza with a golden-brown crust and toppings that are melted to perfection.
​
The Result: A Slice Above the Rest
​
The result of our meticulous process is a pizza that is unparalleled in taste and texture. The extended proofing and double baking create a crust that is both crispy and airy, with a rich, developed flavor that can only come from patience and care. Our use of the poolish and cold fermentation ensures that every bite is packed with a unique, savory taste that sets our pizza apart from the competition. The benefits of using a poolish-enhanced flavor, less yeast, and improved digestibility-make our pizza not just delicious, but also a healthier choice.
