Why Pizza ai 4 Formaggi Is So Popular in Rome
The classic Quattro Formaggi is a timeless dish that is cherished by both Romans and pizza aficionados alike, and is considered the ultimate example of a pizzaiolo’s artistry in combining the richness of dairy ingredients. The real Roman Pizza ai 4 Formaggi is designed to be a concert of contrasting cheeses milky with fresh Fior di Latte, creamy and piquant with the aged Gorgonzola Dolce, earthy with the Alpine Fontina and savory with the sharp and crumbling aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
Our 48-hour slow fermented dough is the secret behind the magic of our Pizza ai 4 Formaggi and how the intense oven heat creates a velvety, golden blanket of these four different cheeses. A charred, hollow crust pocket balances out the decadent cheese pull in every slice of Pizza ai 4 Formaggi, providing a deep sense of comfort while also offering rustic elegance.

Drink Pairing withPizza ai 4 Formaggi
For our wood-fired Pizza ai 4 Formaggi, which has rich creaminess and piquancy from the blue-cheese, our sommelier recommends a structured Italian white wine that has good acidity, or a medium-bodied red wine with good elegance. A glass of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore or a wine with an earthy, floral character such as Rosso di Montalcino DOC shows no hesitation in penetrating and tearing through the layers of melted cheese. The hot Pizza ai 4 Formaggi is accompanied by our carefully selected wines from the region which create a luxurious ambiance for a romantic dinner in Borgo Pio. For those who prefer the traditional Roman pizza and beer combination, a pour of crisp Birrificio del Ducato Viaemilia Kellerpils cleanses the taste of the rich bite, and creates a perfect experience of the true local cuisine at Borgo Pio Rome, our true Italian restaurant near Vatican City.
