As one who appreciates a great tasting pizza, I was happy to lend my palate to taste some of Chef Carmine’s new pizza creations at Novo Pizzeria in Kitsilano, here is the run down.

1^st dish:

Novo Filetti Pizza with mozzarella di bufalo, basil, semi-dried cherry tomatoes, smoked provolone and arugula; great flavours which come off the semi-dried cherry tomatoes and the fresh arugula, this is one of my new favourites.

2^nd dish:

Calzone Alla Napoletana with Finochionna salami, fresh mozzarella, smoked provolone, basil; the parmessan crust on the outside provides great texture to the thin crust making it quite tasty.

3^rd dish:

Pizza Alla Parmigiana with grilled eggplant, fresh mozzarella, basil, mint, parmigiano; the mint adds so much flavour to this great pie.

4^th dish:

Chorizo Salami and Chili Honey Pizza an incredible new pizza pie creation topped with fresh mozzarella, basil, smoked provolone, ricotta di bufala and chili honey, Wow! I loved it so much that I ordered another one to go, that chili honey is addictive.

5^th dish:

Cinque Formaggi with fresh mozzarella, fontina, parmigiano, smoked provolone, gorgonzola and cracked pepper which really adds to this cheesy pizza pie.

6^th dish:

Funghi with truffled cream, fontina, sautéed mushrooms, chives; a rich tasting and delicious pizza pie.

These new pizzas are now available on their newly updated menu.
