What Makes Our Mortadella Pizza Amsterdam Special?
The mortadella pizza Amsterdam at Mangia Pizza is a celebration of one of Italy's finest cured meats. Mortadella di Bologna is a delicate, finely ground pork sausage with cubes of pork fat and often studded with pistachios. It's been produced in Bologna for centuries and holds IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) status, guaranteeing its authenticity and quality. Our mortadella pizza showcases this luxurious ingredient in a way that's both traditional and innovative.
We start with our signature Neapolitan pizza base – hand-stretched dough made with Tipo 00 flour and cold-fermented for 24-48 hours. After baking the base with a light tomato sauce (or sometimes just olive oil for a bianca version), we add thin slices of premium mortadella di Bologna that curl and crisp slightly from the residual heat. We then top it with dollops of creamy stracciatella cheese, sprinkle crushed pistachios for a nutty crunch, and finish with a drizzle of premium extra virgin olive oil and fresh arugula. Every bite of our mortadella pizza Amsterdam is a perfect balance of rich, creamy, salty, and fresh flavors.

The Story of Mortadella di Bologna
Mortadella is one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious cured meats, with origins dating back to Roman times. The name possibly derives from the Latin "mortarium" (mortar), referring to the mortar used to grind the meat. Modern mortadella di Bologna has been produced since at least the 1600s in Bologna and the surrounding Emilia-Romagna region. True mortadella is made from finely ground pork, cubes of pork fat (lardelli), salt, pepper, and often pistachios, then slowly cooked in large cylindrical molds.
The mortadella pizza is a relatively modern creation that emerged in Italy in recent years as chefs began exploring innovative ways to showcase traditional ingredients. The combination of warm, slightly crisped mortadella with cool, creamy stracciatella and crunchy pistachios creates a sensory experience that's become wildly popular. At Mangia Pizza, we've brought this Italian sensation to Amsterdam, using only authentic mortadella di Bologna IGP to ensure the highest quality and most authentic flavor in our mortadella pizza Amsterdam.
Antonio's Vision for Mortadella Pizza
Founder Antonio Cavoto first encountered mortadella pizza during a trip to Bologna, where he tasted a version at a modern pizzeria that was reimagining traditional ingredients. He was immediately struck by how the delicate, silky mortadella paired perfectly with the creamy stracciatella and how the pistachios added both texture and flavor depth. Antonio knew he had to bring this experience to Amsterdam.
At Mangia Pizza, we source our mortadella directly from Bologna, ensuring it meets the strict IGP standards. Our stracciatella comes from Puglia, where this creamy cheese originated. The pistachios are imported from Sicily, known for producing the world's finest pistachios. This attention to sourcing authentic ingredients reflects our broader commitment to quality that earned us the #43 position in The Best Pizza Awards.

The Wood-Fired Oven Technique
Creating the perfect mortadella pizza Amsterdam requires a specific technique. Our wood-fired oven reaches temperatures above 370°C (700°F+), which is essential for achieving that characteristic leopard-spotted crust with charred bubbles. The base is baked first – whether with a light tomato sauce or simply brushed with olive oil for a pizza bianca style.
Here's the crucial part: the mortadella is added AFTER the pizza comes out of the oven. The residual heat from the pizza gently warms the mortadella, causing it to curl slightly and release its aromatic oils without becoming tough or dry. The stracciatella is then dolloped on top while the pizza is still hot, creating creamy puddles of cheese. Finally, we add the crushed pistachios, fresh arugula, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. This method ensures each component maintains its ideal texture and temperature. Learn more about our oven in "Meet the Oven: The Heart of Mangia Pizza".
🔥 Wood-Fired Oven Specifications
- Temperature: 370°C+ (700°F+) for perfect crust
- Baking time: 60-90 seconds for the base
- Wood type: Oak and ash for consistent high heat
- Mortadella timing: Added after baking to preserve delicate texture
- Result: Crispy base, warm mortadella, cold creamy stracciatella
What is Stracciatella Cheese?
Stracciatella is a fresh Italian cheese from Puglia that's essential to our mortadella pizza. It's essentially the creamy, stringy interior of burrata without the outer shell – soft shreds of mozzarella soaked in cream. The name "stracciatella" means "little shred" or "rag" in Italian, referring to its shredded texture. When added to hot pizza, stracciatella creates luxurious creamy puddles that contrast beautifully with the rich mortadella and crunchy pistachios.
At Mangia Pizza, we source our stracciatella from artisanal producers in Puglia who make it fresh daily. The cheese arrives in Amsterdam within days of production, ensuring maximum freshness and that signature creamy texture. This commitment to quality ingredients is what makes our mortadella pizza Amsterdam truly exceptional.
