Some pizzas are fleeting trends. Others, like the Capricciosa, have stood the test of time for centuries. This beloved Italian classic has graced tables across Italy for generations, and for good reason, because the combination of smoked ham, earthy mushrooms, briny black olives, and creamy fior di latte creates something truly special.
At 11 Inch Pizza, we’re proud to bring this timeless favourite to the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.
What Makes Our Italian Pizza Capricciosa Exceptional?
The beauty of a great Capricciosa pizza lies in the quality of every single ingredient. Our version features hand-kneaded dough made fresh daily, creating that perfect crispy-yet-chewy base you’ll crave long after your last bite. We layer on our signature tomato sauce, followed by generous mozzarella, carefully selected smoked ham, fresh mushrooms, black olives, and silky fior di latte cheese.
For those who appreciate the fuller flavour profile, we offer the option to add anchovies; a nod to regional Italian variations that have perfected this pizza over the years. It’s this attention to detail and respect for tradition that sets our Italian pizza Capricciosa apart.
The Story Behind This Italian Favourite
The name “capricciosa” comes from the Italian word for “capricious” or “whimsical,” referring to the abundant and varied toppings that make this pizza so delightfully indulgent.
While recipes vary across Italy’s regions (some adding artichokes, others including boiled eggs or sausage) the core ingredients remain consistent: quality ham, mushrooms, and olives coming together in harmonious balance.
At 11 Inch Pizza, we’ve stayed true to the essence of this classic while ensuring every ingredient we use meets our exacting standards for freshness and flavour.
