So some of you might think that Hamrun can't possibly offer a proper Italian style Pizza. Well - guess what?
You're wrong!
I must admit, the place and service are not the most appealing but the taste of the Pizza will make you forget about that - trust me!
To tickle our taste buds, we ordered some Bruschetta to share. Here is when I started getting excited and wagged my tail like a puppy in sheer delight!
This time round we ordered the Quattro Formaggi consisting of Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Provolone, Pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano (or is it Cinque Formaggi? Whatever - it was delicious), the San Gennaro with Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Chicken, Bell Peppers, Provolone and BBQ Sauce, and the Bresaola with Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Rucola, Bresaola, Mozzarella Di Bufala D.O.P, Parmigiana Shavings and Truffle Oil. Of course, the San Gennaro was my choice. One of us got a salad - CRAY I KNOW!
Let's start with the dough. The added yeastiness made the Pizzas really bubbly and springy around the edges but thin-based at the centre. I prefer a more open-textured crust, but this Pizza was on point!
Then there's the crispness factor. Nothing beats the intense heat and smoky flavour that comes from a proper wood-burning oven and this Pizza had exactly that!
As for toppings, these were of the right amount! Not too mad with the sauce and no overload of ingredients that would usually make a thin-based pizza soggy.
Finally, for dessert, we asked the Pizzaiolo to surprise us and my dears - HE DID! A pizza dough bowl full of ice cream, chocolate syrup and tiny chocolate balls!
So as you all have gathered, Pulcinella deserves a solid 8/10! GO GO GO!
On to the next pizza. Whoop Whoop! :)
