Pizza Today - May2023 - 21

M
y first encounter with
Pizza in Teglia, or Italian Pan
Pizza, occurred in 2006. I competed
in the Pizza in Teglia, or Pan
Pizza Category, at the World Pizza
Competitions in Salsomaggiore,
Italy. As my teglia pizza came out
of the oven, I looked at the contestant
next to me and my eyes grew
wide. His pizza was as large as a
house window, and he was making
his pizza backwards! He re-cooked
his pizza multiple times, adding
cheeses and protein after each bake
and then put multiple greens,
olives, and tomatoes on it. I'll
always be proud of scoring well,
but the beauty of that other guy's
pizza in teglia intrigued me and
haunted my memory until I visited
Rome in 2015.
I was invited to work at Gabriel
Boncis Pizzarium in the spring.
The amazing number of colorful
pizza in teglia ran along a small
counter where the long line of
customers stood patiently to buy
pizza by the slice, called 'Pizza
Taglio.' I worked with the Manager
Frederico and the crew in the tiny
kitchen gently pressing the highly
hydrated dough into some large
square oiled pans I had seen in
2006. I then placed it into their old
electric oven with just a drizzle of
extra virgin olive oil. After I pulled
it from the oven, Frederico cut it
down the middle then spread a
chickpea puree followed by thinly
sliced sturgeon as a lemony carpaccio.
We crumbled hard boiled eggs
and dressed crispy puntarella as a
finish. I smiled, knowing I was in
pizza in teglia heaven. This type
of pizza was irresistible, and I just
knew it was going to be very popular
someday. I am now here to say
this is the year of Pizza in Teglia!
Types of Pizza in Teglia
Teglia means baking tray in
Italian. This pan pizza method or
'Pizza al Testo' has evolved over the
years using a multitude of different
types of pans, hydrations, flours
and cooking methods. Each pizza
microclimate has its own way of
representing the tastes, products
and baking methods of the different
Italian regions and even these
may vary from town to town.
Pizza di Sfigole from the Abruzzo
region is a pan pizza without
all the fuss. It's just flour, lard and
pig bits called sfigole. Pretty much
a flavorful and flaky pie-crusted
pork bread. Yum.
Pizza al Tegamino, means
" Baked pan pizza, " and evolved
in Turin, Italy and is still made
in the Piedmont and into Emilia
Romagna region. It is thought
that this (usually) round pan pizza
originated from the Northern Ital
