SHEET PAN PIZZA with mild provolone, onions and pumpkin in oil
In Rome in the 1970s, there was music and there was art, there was cultural ferment and there was a desire to change the world. It is probably no coincidence that, in all this fervor, right there and right then sheet pan pizza was born. Born to gather friends around the table, its rectangular shape, ease of slicing, and endless topping options made it the perfect dish for sharing and satisfying everyone. Soft and fluffy, but always crispy: this is not a contradiction, in fact it is one of the secrets of its success. Along with its enveloping aroma of homemade doughs.
Our version of sheet pan pizza combines the sweetness of Borettane onions (as precious as the pearls they resemble), the sweet taste of pumpkin in oil, the goodness of provolone cheese, and a touch of freshness given by fragrant rosemary sprigs. It’s a dish for those who love good food but do not like long and complex recipes. With just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes, you can top and bake this delicious pizza. The rest of the time is yours—to savor with your loved ones or indulge in absolute relaxation, always with an irresistible slice of pizza in hand.

Some restaurants call it “white Amatriciana,” but Pasta alla gricia has its own story and a strong identity.
