What Are We Eating: Pizza Con Pesto Di Pistacchio at Europa Winery

They say there are five taste qualities of food; sweet, salty, savory, bitter, and umami. 

By some miraculous twist of fate brought on by the food gods, the Pizza Con Pesto Di Pistacchio at Mercato di Vienza in Europa Winery hits ‘em all at once!

It may have a fancy name (that’s incredibly fun to say), but at the end of the day, you’ve got pistachio pesto, Italian sausage, pepperoncini, local honey, and a crazy cheese blend that makes this pizza quite unique.

If Leonardo DaVinci were a pizza maker, he’d probably make this one.

Let me break it down for you…

At first glance, the white and green theme of the pizza seemingly brightens your view as the flecks of green from the pepperoncini sparkle against the golden splashes of honey all resting atop a bed of mozzarella and other cheeses. 

From the first bite, the saltiness from the cheese along with the Italian sausage ignites your taste buds. Then in jumps the pistachio pesto that somehow dances with the sausage to create a double umami taste causing a lingering savoriness. If you’re lucky enough to get a pepperoncini within the first bite, you’ll feel the spark of vinegar and spice that hits you right in the glands.

It isn’t until the tinge in the back of your throat subsides that you get the final taste of sweetness from the honey, completing the mouthwatering journey.
