When planning catering for an event, choosing the right type of pizza can make or break the experience. At Storia, we specialize in Pizza al Taglio, a Roman-style pizza that stands out not only for its incredible taste but also for its ability to serve large crowds efficiently and flawlessly. Let’s explore why Pizza al Taglio is unmatched when compared to other styles like Neapolitan pizza for catering purposes.
What Makes Pizza al Taglio Unique?
Pizza al Taglio, often called "Grandma Pizza" in Italy, is baked in large rectangular trays, with each tray measuring 40 x 60 cm and yielding 10 slices (12 x 20 cm each). Each tray serves 3 to 4 people, making it ideal for sharing and perfect for events of all sizes.
The crust of Pizza al Taglio is a masterpiece: light, airy, fluffy, and delightfully crunchy. This texture is achieved through a 4-day sourdough fermentation process, a technique that’s almost unheard of in other styles of pizza. The result is not only a pizza that tastes amazing but also one that is easy to digest—perfect for ensuring your guests feel satisfied and comfortable.
Comparison: Pizza al Taglio vs. Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza is a culinary icon, but when it comes to catering, it faces significant challenges:
Serving Large Crowds: Neapolitan pizza is made as individual portions, typically 30 cm in diameter, baked in wood-fired ovens at extremely high temperatures. While delicious, this process limits how quickly pizzas can be prepared and served. Serving 200 people simultaneously? Nearly impossible.
Durability: Neapolitan pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Its soft, delicate crust tends to become soggy and less appealing if left sitting, making it less practical for events.
Variety: Individual pizzas make it harder for guests to try multiple flavors without over-ordering or wasting food.
In contrast, Pizza al Taglio excels in all these areas:
Scalable Production: The half-baked bases can be finished quickly, allowing us to serve up to 200 guests in under an hour.
Perfect for Sharing: The tray format lets guests sample different flavors without committing to an entire pizza.
Durable Quality: The thicker, airy crust retains its texture and flavor, even if served over time.
