Overview

Context

• Hofflohmarkt in Untergiesing
• Needed a break after 1 block
• Energy of two 80 year olds

Crust

• super crunchy, crispy, dry
• thin like a cracker
• flaking into sheets like the stucco of an Italian home in countryside

Sauce

• bright red
• well seasoned with herbs

Mozzarella

• creamy and milky and stretchy

Ham

• very meaty
• not salty enough to balance the pineapple

Pineapple

• super sweet, but not just sweet — also tart
• High grade canned pineapple — probably the best we’ve had in years
• chunks were really large, thick, and juicy
• a full ring encasing a black olive jewel crowned the pizza

Additional Thoughts

• top quality ingredients
• it didn’t quite come together in terms of the Hawaiian flavor
• Among the most Italian places we’ve seen (if not the most) that are brave enough to serve Hawaiian
• very poorly cut, just like Pepe’s in New Haven
• They make really good pizza (The Ortolana) but only a decent Hawaiian
