About fifteen years ago, it was not easy to find a restaurant or pizzeria that offered pinsa. There were very few pinserias, and those who wanted to enjoy it at home had no choice but to get the (right) flour and try their hand at kneading, enduring long rising times. Not everyone, of course, had the time to do it.
Today, the situation has changed radically: just take a trip to the supermarket and you’ll come across a wide range of pre-cooked pinsa romana bases. There are many different options, with products that vary in terms of preservation method, shape, taste and dietary requirements. But, with so many to choose from, which pinsa romana base is the best?

- The classic

- The classic frozen
- The snack classic
- The snack classic room temperature
Classic pinsa base: a timeless taste of quality
The pinsa romana classic is based on Corrado Di Marco’s original recipe that started his success in 2001. It is ideal for a main dish like a pizza, but it is crispier and lighter, with fewer calories.
It is the most versatile pinsa, perfect for anyone’s needs. It is ideal for those who have little time to cook but don’t want to give up taste, for families who want a dish everyone will like, and for creative cooking enthusiasts who like to experiment with new toppings following their own knowledge and inspiration. To sum up, it is the perfect choice for those who want a quality option that is both practical and customisable. It is the perfect start.
The ideal consumer wants to be quick but not at the expense of quality. The base, in fact, is handcrafted following the original recipe scrupulously, and it only takes five minutes and a little imagination to create a memorable dish. The classic is also an excellent starter, an appetiser and can also be a delicious dessert.
Multigrain, rustic and nutritious
The pinsa romana multigrain is a perfect choice for those looking for a rustic, nutritious and very tasty alternative. It must be kept in the fridge like the classic, but it has a higher fibre content and crunchiness thanks to the seeds on the base. It is therefore designed for those who want a meal full of flavour nuances, care about their health and do not want to give up the pleasure of good food. It is also a great idea for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, who appreciate its balance and lightness to support their active lifestyle. The fibre in the cereals helps keep the digestive system healthy and keeps you feeling full for longer. This pinsa is perfect for those who are careful about their diet.
Just as the classic, it is still very versatile: multigrain pinsa is just as perfect for a tasty starter or appetiser. Its versatility also makes it ideal for preparing original (and crispy) desserts.
The space-saving classic room temperature
The pinsa romana classic room temperature is perfect for those who want the quality and versatility of pinsa classic, but it can be stored at room temperature. It has the same authentic taste and distinctive crunchiness as classic pinsa but is designed to be stored conveniently in the pantry, thus saving precious space in the fridge.
Who is this product for, then? For te people who enjoy classic pinsa, but have limited space in the fridge: think students sharing flats, large families who need to fit as much as possible in the fridge, or anyone with a well-stocked pantry but little space to store fresh food.
Cut waste with the pinsa frozen
The pinsa classic frozen is the ideal option for anyone who wants to have high-quality food that is ready in a flash and keeps (very) long. It has the taste and crunchiness of classic pinsa, but with the advantage that it can be stored in the freezer for up to 18 months. It is therefore perfect for those who prefer to do their shopping only once in a while, optimising time and keeping one or more pinsas at home just in case. It is perfect for those who want to have an option ready for unexpected lunches or dinners, without having to make frantic runs to the supermarket or, worse, being forced to eat out. It is also a great way to avoid food waste, as you can store this pinsa for a long time and enjoy it even months after purchase.
Pinsa snack, classic and room temperature: quality in a small size
The pinsa snack is designed for those seeking convenience and taste in a small size, perfect for a quick break, aperitivo or an informal meal. It is round and weighs 130g (the standard one is 230g), and it is a versatile and convenient solution for multiple occasions. The product is ideal as a sandwich, to replace classic toast, for quick lunches at the office, snacks between engagements, or as a starter for an informal dinner. Its texture and shape also make it suited to be sliced and served as an appetiser or finger food at social events.
Two types of pinsa snack are available: the classic, to keep in the fridge, and the room temperature, that can be stored in the pantry. Both offer the same quality and versatility, but differ in the way they are stored, thus offering practical solutions for different space needs and lifestyles.
