Italian Delights

Seafood pizzas tend to be rather generic. Once you've had one, you've had 'em all. But this is not the case with Atmastel and their stellar seafood pizza, which I was surprisingly impressed by.

For $38++, you get a perfectly palatable pizza that's built upon a thin yet delightfully dense crust that's made from 100% stone milled flour, and made into a dough that's been allowed to prove for 48 hours. The San Marzano tomatoes that have been certified DOP (the DOP label guarantees that the item is produced, processed and packaged in a specific regional location according to the regional traditions) are made into an absolutely ambrosial tomato sauce, which they then spice up wonderfully with the introduction of some fiery chili flakes. Due to the inherent low acidity of the San Marzano tomatoes, the sauce is mildly tangy and sweet, but utterly umami.

Now in this state, the pizza is already super delicious, but when it's topped off with a measure of marvelously cooked clams, prawns and squid, it evolves into the best darn seafood pizza I've ever eaten.

Many thanks to Tiffany of Atmastel for being such a lovely host, and to Veronica for the invite!
