# L'Altro Verso — Roman, round, and crisp.

> Pizzeria in Palermo specialising in tonda romana scrocchiarella — the thin, crisp, leopard-spotted Roman pizza. Hand-rolled, baked at high heat. Book your table online.

Rolled out thin and baked at high heat, light and crunchy with every bite

## No raised crust. No compromises.

The opposite of Neapolitan: a low-hydration dough, rolled out paper-thin and baked fast at high heat. A light, fragrant base you can feel crunch under your teeth.

- Thickness: 3 mm — Rolled paper-thin — never with a puffy edge.
- Diameter: 31 cm — The classic size of the round pizza on a plate.
- Bake: 400 °C — Fast and dry, for that crunchy bite.
- Maturation: 48 h — Slow, for lightness and digestibility.

## It's not burnt. It's leopard-spotted.

Those dark spots on the edge are the whole point. Without them, it wouldn't be scrocchiarella.

The oven pushes past 400°C: in seconds the sugars and proteins in the dough caramelise. It's the Maillard reaction — the same crust as freshly baked bread, the same colour as roasted coffee. It isn't charcoal, it's caramel: aroma, crunch and that snap at the first bite. A pale pizza is only half a pizza.

## Just a taste.

## One single obsession.

Scrocchiarella done right: thin, crisp, leopard-spotted. No shortcuts.

L'Altro Verso was born from a simple conviction: the Roman-style round pizza is not a second-rate pizza. It's another school, another bite. Low-hydration dough, slow proving, rolled by hand until paper-thin. Then a hot oven, a fast bake, and that leoparding which to us is a signature, not a flaw.

No raised crust, no compromises. Few, good ingredients carefully chosen, and a dining room made for feeling at ease. This is our other way round.
