Wild Mushroom Pizza

Zelo Pizzaeria - Arcadia, CA

I had an interesting experience biting into my first Zelo pizza. First, let's talk ingredients. Pizzas can be sold by the slice here, so this particular slice had fontina cheese, mozzarella, domestic porcini & shitake mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and basil. That first bite was really enlightening because there were two things that threw me off at first.

First, I didn't taste any tomato sauce and second, the cheese was firmly in place and not "swimming around" as it tends to do when it's melted over aforementioned tomato sauce.

For my next bite, this time I paid more attention to the crust and it was just really delicious. I found it crispy and buttery and enjoyed the corny sweetness of it all. I also liked its rich denseness. Honestly, I was almost full just eating that one slice. Normally, I can consume 3 to 4 slices from pizza made with the more traditional flour dough, but that wouldn't be the case with Zelo Pizza.

As for the other ingredients of this Wild Mushroom pizza, I really enjoyed the combination of flavors from the mushroom's earthiness to the sweet acidity of the sun-dried tomatoes. So if you're on the lookout for a pizza crust that's a little different from the norm, check out Zelo Pizza.
