Follow Pizza&core International to discover the new trends of pizza Alternative pizza could be an excellent way to improve your menu
A
lternative pizza is the new trend in Italy; offering alternative kinds of dough is a trend started about 5-6 years ago, thanks to the pizza makers’ associations (one example is A.P.P.) Everywhere in Italy a certain number of pizza makers began to test different kinds of dough and flours. Facebook, magazines (Pizza&core in pole position) helped them give acknowledgement to this idea. The idea was successful and lots of pizzerias make today their own alternative dough .It is a general trend happening in all the country. A lot of brands make mixes prepared with several cereals or natural flours (e.g. Calabrella is the new flour with PEPERONCINO CALABRESE- red hot chili pepper by Molino IAQUONE). We should anyway distinguish two different kinds of alternative pizza: 1) Kinds of dough made by several flours (TYPE 1 o TYPE 2, ancient grains et similia);
2) Kinds of dough made with additional ingredients (turmeric, chili, hemp et similia). Why do people ask for an alternative pizza? In Italy people love making new experiences when they eat out; we think that this is amazing. Italian customers like experimenting new recipes. Moreover, the journalism influences the public opinion about “diet”, “health” and “beauty”. Of course only one pizza (once or twice a week) cannot change anything in one’s diet, but to use TYPE 1 and TYPE 2, or ancient grains (and other kinds) is great because pizza is more digestible and owns as well other characteristics (crunchy or soft, it has a new smell, new organoleptic properties and so on). Furthermore, the classic pizza made with fineground flour could be light, too. If it is well prepared, of course! To cut the story short, alternative pizza could be an excellent way to improve your menu. 3

Italian cuisine: the most popular in Russia Pizzeria Scrocchiarella, in Nikitsky Boulevard 12 in the center of Moscow, not far from the Kremlin, is the second opening of the brand pizzeria
T
he owners of this place of business, Pavel Sidorov ed Anastasiya Sidorova, comment on how this experience started in collaboration with Italmill.
How was Pizzeria Scrocchiarella born? ÂŤFrom the beginning we thought to open a chain, because we have a lot of experience in franchising and
6
a very solid team of professionals. The project of the first pizzeria was a success and business-wise very possible. We would have liked to expand it. At the same time every new project will have his own identity. We are already working on a third opening in the factory design Art space Flacon. The Pizzeria in Nikitsky Boulevard is a trendy-chic place, decorated with a taste for minimalism, enri-
ched with elegant details and main destination for the movie business celebrities who appreciate Italian cuisine». What do you offer beyond the Scrocchiarella? «In the menu of the pizzeria we added as well soups, salads, pasta. All the Restaurants have an own central kitchen as well as a confectionery department. The wine list includes only Italian wines and it is subdivided into Italian Regions. The main dishes are, e.g. the traditional Minestrone (vegetable soup), tomatoes and farmer’s burrata, carbonara di linguine Roman style with bacon. Concerning the desserts, there are some traditional Italian ones as well as Russian ones such as the apple pie Medovik». Which type of customer do you welcome? «Our guests are people who travel a lot, live on top of what is current, customers who are always searching for novelty and innovation. A lot of Italians and
other foreigners live in Russia». How do you season your Scrocchiarella in Moscow? «The Italian cuisine is the most popular in Russia and pizza is the most loved product. We know that the most popular pizza is traditionally the Margherita: well, if we talk about Russia, for sure the meat seasoning/topping is the most requested. Starting from ham and champignons or pepperoni pizza to pizza with smoked beef carpaccio with caramelized plums». Advice for an Italian who would like to foster a work experience in Moscow? «Moscow is starting to appreciate professionals and if you are a pro in your business, people will always contact you. Ask yourself at what you are best and when you find the answer it will be easy to step in your own reality and take a worthy place. Russians love foreigners because of openness and freedom, features which are different from our mindset».
