Pellicano’s Signature Old Fashioned Half Sheet Pizza

Bring the nostalgic taste of an authentic Italian bakery to your next event with Pellicano’s Signature Old Fashioned Pizza. This dish showcases our passion for simplicity done right—relying on classic technique and time-tested ingredients to create a bold, savory pie that pleases every crowd. Crafted to serve 16-20 guests, it makes a substantial and satisfying addition to any catering layout.

The base of this traditional pie is our pizza dough, prepared from enriched white flour, water, salt, and yeast, allowed to rise properly for a golden, airy crust with a satisfying chew. We top the dough with a slow-simmered tomato basil sauce crafted from ripe tomato puree, olive oil, garlic, and fresh basil, balanced with a hint of sugar and black pepper for a round, flavorful depth.

Instead of heavy melting cheeses, this style relies on bold finishing seasonings to let the crust and sauce shine. We generously dust the pie with fragrant dried oregano and sharp, aged Pecorino Romano crafted from pure sheep's milk. The grated sheep's milk cheese sinks gently into the rich tomato sauce, imparting a distinct, salty bite that defines true old-world Italian street food.

Quality and Preparation: Every Old Fashioned Pizza is prepared and baked fresh to order in our kitchen. By focusing on a well-balanced sauce and authentic Pecorino Romano rather than dense shredded cheese, this pizza retains its crisp structure and signature flavor, making it easy to slice, serve, and enjoy at room temperature or hot.

Catering Versatility: This classic bakery-style pizza serves as a crowd-pleasing option across various event menus:

• Appetizer Pairing: Slice into bite-sized squares to serve alongside our Caprese Board or a our Charcuterie tray Italian meats and olives.

• Meal Companion: Makes a wonderful bread course alongside hearty pasta bakes, fresh garden salads, or hot chicken cutlets.

• Special Occasions: A hit for corporate luncheons, informal office parties, game-day gatherings, or casual family celebrations.
