Carluccio’s is giving Dubai’s dining scene a Roman twist with the launch of Pinsa Romana, an ancient Italian recipe reinvented for modern tastes. Light, crisp, and delicately airy, this limited-time menu celebrates the beauty of Italian simplicity with a contemporary flair, with prices starting from AED 84.
Rooted in recipes that date back to Imperial Rome, the Pinsa Romana is crafted with a unique blend of flours and a slow 72-hour fermentation, creating the perfect balance of crunch and softness. Each rectangular Pinsa is topped with seasonal, vibrant ingredients that showcase the flavours of Italy, all under the direction of Brand Chef Roberto Senese.
“Pinsa is not just pizza, it’s Roman history reimagined for today’s table,” says Chef Roberto. “At Carluccio’s, we’ve honoured its roots while bringing it to life with the creativity and passion our guests expect.”
The new menu takes diners on a journey through Italy’s landscapes, from the sea to the countryside, with every Pinsa telling its own story. Pinsa Polpo captures the Mediterranean spirit with tender octopus carpaccio and marinated potatoes, while Pinsa Pesto e Pollo offers the comforting flavours of grilled chicken and basil pesto. Pinsa Funghi celebrates the earthy essence of Italian forests, and Pinsa Piccante strikes a fiery balance with spicy spinach and hot honey. For a sweet-savoury indulgence, Pinsa Quattro Formaggi pairs rich cheeses with figs and toasted walnuts, while Pinsa Nerano pays homage to the Amalfi Coast’s famed zucchini dish.
From its slow fermentation to fresh, post-bake toppings, Carluccio’s Pinsa Romana captures the brand’s philosophy: exceptional ingredients, expert technique, and food that brings people together, all served with unmistakable Italian soul.
Carluccio’s is located at Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina Mall and The Ranches Souk. For further information visit www.carlucciosme.com or email [email protected]
