A beginner's guide to cornmeal crust pizza

What is Cornmeal?

Cornmeal is a flour made from ground dried corn. It is a staple food in many countries around the world. You might know it as polenta or grits.

Cornmeal Crust Pizza?

We use a cornmeal and flour mix in our pizza crust to give it a distinctive flavour and texture. The cornmeal makes our crusts stronger and more robust than a normal pizza, which allows us to be more creative (and generous) with our toppings.

What does it taste like?

Our pizzas taste unique, partly because of the crust, and partly because of the alternative toppings. The cornmeal gives the crust a wholesome flavour and because it’s less refined it won’t leave you feeling bloated. It doesn’t have the “doughy” taste of other pizzas.

Is it filling?

The cornmeal we use means that our pizza crusts are higher in fibre than normal, which makes them more filling. We also put far more topping on our pizzas, as we believe this gives them a much better flavour. Our 12” pizzas really do serve 2-3 people.

Is it gluten or wheat free?

Unfortunately not. We use a mix of cornmeal and organic wheat flour in our dough, so it contains both wheat and gluten. However, because of the lower wheat content (compared to normal pizzas) many of our customers who have a mild wheat intolerance happily devour the pizzas.

Do you offer vegetarian pizzas?

The majority of pizzas on our menu are suitable for vegetarians. We also have several vegan pizzas, one of which is always on the menu (plus please check the specials board).
