Pizza Burrata

A masterclass in Italian simplicity, our Pizza Burrata celebrates the creamy heart of Puglia atop a perfectly charred artisanal crust. It is a vibrant, contemporary take on tradition that honors the purity of fresh Mediterranean flavors.

The Dish

Our signature dough undergoes a long fermentation process to achieve a light, airy crumb and a crisp, leopard-spotted exterior. We crown the golden crust with a whole, luscious burrata that spills its silky cream over a vibrant tomato base and hand-pitted olives.

Flavor Profile

Experience a luxurious contrast between the cool, buttery cheese and the tangy warmth of the San Marzano tomato sauce. Briny olives add depth, while fresh basil provides an aromatic, herbaceous finish that cleanses the palate.

Heritage & Ingredients

Burrata was born in the Murgia region of Puglia, originally crafted to preserve the precious cream found inside mozzarella. At Io Osteria Italiana, we source the finest cheese and olives to ensure every slice transports you to the sun-drenched Italian coast.

Fun Facts

• The word 'burrata' translates to 'buttered' in Italian, a nod to its exceptionally rich and decadent interior.
• The center of the burrata is called stracciatella, a mixture of fresh cream and shredded mozzarella curds.

Perfect Pairings

Complement the richness of the cheese with a crisp, chilled Prosecco or a light-bodied Sangiovese. A side of our marinated artichokes also offers a bright, acidic counterpoint to the creamy textures.
