ItalCrust Pinsa

Pinsa is flooding into the market from Italian and domestic producers alike.   While Pinsa really is something different, it may not be the best fit if you are looking for pizza or flatbreads.

Instead, Pinsa shines with simple toppings such as fresh vegetables, prosciutto, tomatoes, and shaved parm.

If you are looking for a great flatbread that has an artisan looks, holds up well and will elevate the flavors that you top it with, Pinsa may actually not work well and increase your cost.

Is Pinsa good as a pizza base?

Pinsa is a fantastic base for light sauces such as pesto, a drizzle of olive oil, fresh charcuterie or a salad and fresh tomatoes.  As a pizza base it is often not the best choice.

But pinsa is hard to top and may not actually give you the taste or texture that you get from real pizza dough.  Pinsa can also take a long time to bake, which can be frustrating for pizza or flatbread entrees that could finish in as little as 5 minutes in a convection oven.

What is Pinsa?

Originating from the heart of Italy, pinsa is a modern twist on ancient Roman flatbread. This isn’t just any pizza crust—it’s a game-changer! Made from a unique blend of wheat and soy flours, pinsa dough is an absolute dream to work with. It’s has an airy, light texture that’s crisp on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside.

ItalCrust Pinsa advantages:

  • No soy. Our pinsa is uniquely made without intentionally added soy. Fewer ingredients mean cleaner and the flavor that we achieve using bran instead is a step above.
  • A national brand that you can trust and a distribution network that works well for chains and multi-state operations.
  • A clean, delicious and authentic Pinsa. One of the best in the market.
