Lancaster finally has Roman style pizza. Grab a slice or four, all day.
Roman style pizza is baked in big rectangular pans and cut to order. You pick what you want and how much. No full pie, no waiting on delivery. Just good pizza, ready when you show up.
Pull up whenever. Grab one or four. No commitment.
The full pan. Classic toppings and some stuff off the beaten path.
Neo Neapolitan, different flour, same starter and cold ferment as everything else.
Philly's had it for years. New York's had it longer. Now Lancaster has it, from someone who learned in those kitchens.
Every pie starts the same way. Flour blend, sourdough starter, 24 to 72 hours cold. The ferment does the work shortcuts can't.
The Roman and round doughs run different flour blends, but the starter and method are the same. Two styles, one kitchen. It's all connected.
Grew up here. Ten years in New York kitchens. The Breslin. Roberta's. Café Altro Paradiso. Now he's home, opening Lancaster's first Roman style pizzeria.
