What Makes Our Capricciosa Pizza Special?

The capricciosa pizza at Mangia Pizza is a celebration of Italian culinary tradition. The name "capricciosa" means "capricious" or "whimsical" in Italian, reflecting the pizza's abundant and varied toppings. Our version stays true to the classic Roman recipe: San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella fior di latte, prosciutto cotto (cooked ham), fresh mushrooms, marinated artichoke hearts, and black olives. Some variations include a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil.

What sets our capricciosa pizza apart is our commitment to authentic Italian ingredients and traditional wood-fired cooking. Our dough is made with Tipo 00 flour and cold-fermented for 24-48 hours, creating an airy, digestible base. We bake each capricciosa pizza at over 370°C (700°F+) in our Neapolitan wood-fired oven for just 60-90 seconds, achieving the perfect leopard-spotted crust and perfectly melted toppings.

The Story Behind Capricciosa Pizza

The capricciosa pizza originated in Rome in the mid-20th century, quickly becoming one of Italy's most beloved classic pizzas. The "capricious" name reflects the abundant variety of toppings – it's a pizza that has everything! While the Margherita celebrates simplicity, the capricciosa pizza celebrates abundance, offering multiple flavors and textures in every bite.

At Mangia Pizza, founder Antonio Cavoto brought this Roman tradition to Amsterdam. Growing up in Naples, Antonio learned to appreciate both the Neapolitan pizza-making technique and the regional variations from across Italy. His capricciosa pizza combines the best of both worlds: Roman toppings with Neapolitan dough and wood-fired technique. Learn more about Antonio's journey on our About page.
