Welcome back to the “Delights of Italy” series! You might want to check out the other episodes =)
Have you ever seen a pizza with a full mozzarella on it?
Well I got a pizza with 5 (!!!) mozzarellas, and not the regular ones: the buffalo milk ones… did you ever try them? If not please do. It’s totally different from the regular (cow milk) one. In Italy, we call it “mozzarella di bufala“.
The famous one comes from the Campania region but the one from Apulia even if it’s not as popular is maybe even better.
In Italy, when you want a pizza with buffalo milk mozzarella you have to order a “pizza bufalina“. It’s basically a margherita but with the other kind of mozzarella.
It usually comes with sliced mozzarella but this time when I ordered a bufalina, I rolled my eyes when I saw this!
The restaurant is called “Bruschetta” and it is in Vieste, Apulia, Italy. I loved their pizza and I went back many times after this. And in case you’re wondering, no this is NOT a sponsored post!
Ok now I’ll have lunch coz I made myself hungry.

That looks delicious!! Have never tried buffalo mozza. Will have to try it if/when I get to Italy!
Please try it! It’s so delicious. Try to get some in Southern Italy when you come… it’s the best:) Oh, I miss it!!!
Giulia, I’ve been trying to resist the temptation to have a pizza all day … Now I NEED one. Hahaha! But I know mine definitely won’t be as nice as the genuine kind of your homeland. ;-)
Pizza is actually modern Italian for pie. The origin of the term is murky but is said to be derived from an Old Italian word meaning “a point,” which later evolved to the Italian word pizzicare, meaning “to pinch or pluck.” A Neapolitan dialect of the word first shows up in print in 1000 A.D. in the form of picea or piza, assumably referring to the way the hot pie is plucked from the oven.
WOW delcious looking pizza! I never had mozzarellas pizza like that. It must be a delightful tasting experience to try.
