Olivia’s Order is a new, weekly food review published by the Reveille.
Pizza is known for being a quick, cheap and easy meal, especially for college students; however, top-notch flavor is never guaranteed.
For those in search of local pizza with an escalated flavor, the burrata pizza from Rocca Pizzeria is your next go-to. The twelve-inch pizza comes with eight slices and is covered in red sauce. The pie is topped with Ezzo Pepperoni, mozzarella, basil, hot honey, evoo, grana and ground pepper.
Ezzo Pepperoni creates top quality, extra lean pepperoni and sausage that is filled with authentic Italian flavor. The combination of the savory pepperoni and hot honey give the pizza a sweet and salty taste. The rich and buttery burrata cheese and salty grana cheese is melted onto the pizza, contributing to the sweet and salty flavor.
There’s no doubt that this pizza is appetizing, but is it set at a reasonable price?
Every pizza at Rocca Pizzeria is hand tossed and wood-fired, something that cheaper, fast-food pizzerias can’t promise. The specific pepperoni and burrata cheese used is generally more expensive than other meats and cheeses, but that’s what makes this pizza so delicious. The pizza is set at $20, which can make it out of a college student’s price range, but splitting it with a friend or roommate makes the pizza worth every dollar.
Rocca Pizzeria is located at 3897 Government St.
