Pizza degustations at Pizza Day: Taman Desa’s unique new Italian-run restaurant serves a seven-course menu comprising three types of pizzas, three focaccia sandwiches, plus three desserts at RM78+ per person.
Pizza Day harnesses an Italian-built modular oven that engineers uniform cooking for uber-crunchy Roman-style rectangular-crust pizzas.
Italian ingredients are integral – 24-month Parma ham, organic whole wheat flour, fior di latte, sun-ripened tomato sauce and more, resting on 72-hour fermented dough.
No a la carte selection is currently available, so surrender at least an hour to savour the degustation, with courses served at a comfortable pace. The chef’s parade of pizzas will evolve, evoking an Italian omakase.
Possibilities include Margherita, Diavola and five-cheese pizzas with Pecorino, Taleggio, Gorgonzola, ricotta and mozzarella, punctuated by panfocaccia layered with provolone and cooked ham, prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella, or burrata with anchovies. Desserts might span tiramisu, hazelnut ice cream and citrus sorbet.
Portions pictured here are for two persons. Italian beers and wines complete the enjoyably distinctive experience.
Fun fact: Pizza Day’s founders include the Milan-born owner of Heritage Pizza in KL’s city centre.
