Tavolata: Pizza moments meant to be shared

Slice. Share. Repeat.

Neapolitan-style pizza bakes fast, but there’s a short wait between rounds. By slicing and serving each pizza as it’s ready, no one waits and everyone enjoys. Help yourself to some salad, take a slice, and let the pizzas keep coming. A fun and sociable way to try all the pizzas without having to choose just one.

Enough pizza for everyone

Most recipes yield four pizzas. Plan for about one per person and adjust the amount of dough to match your group size. Classic sauces are always a crowd-pleaser, but why not mix things up with seasonal options? After baking, add finishing touches like grilled vegetables, rocket or parmesan shavings for extra flair and flavour.

Savour what’s in season

Pizza adapts to every season. In autumn, top with pumpkin purée and mushrooms. In winter, try kale pesto on a bianca-style pizza. In spring add shaved asparagus or wild garlic to a margherita. In summer, ripe tomatoes, courgettes or peppers take the spotlight. Each season brings new flavour inspiration.

Set the scene for pizza night

Pizza night is about more than just great food – it’s a whole experience. Create menus or place cards, add some Italian flair to the table with decorations, and press play on your favourite playlist. Set out jugs of drinks, with or without alcohol, for guests to help themselves. Small, thoughtful details make your tavolata all the more memorable.

Pizza margherita napoletana

Flavourful finishers: sauces & oils

From bold to subtle, special oils and sauces let your guests add their personal finishing touch to the pizza. A little drizzle is all it takes.

Made with fresh peperoncino-chilis, dried chilli flakes, garlic and rosemary, this fiery oil adds flavour, depth and a spicy kick to every slice. A must for those who like it hot.

A green oil made with both confit and raw garlic, plus fresh basil, oregano and parsley. Aromatic, herbaceous and ideal for drizzling or dipping crusts.

A vibrant green salsa made with pistachios, fresh parsley and capers. This refreshing blend of flavours adds a tangy twist to your pizza.

Light salads to serve on the side

A salad brings balance to your tavolata – light, seasonal, fresh and fragrant. The perfect counterpoint to the warm, rich taste of dough and cheese.

Fennel salad with apple & walnuts

Crisp fennel, green apple and caramelised walnuts in a light apple vinaigrette. Fresh, crunchy and subtly sweet – the kind of side that brings the table to life.
