Product Description
The Salvatore's Special is our signature masterpiece, created by founder Salvatore Rossi himself. This premium pizza showcases the very best of Italian ingredients and culinary traditions, offering a truly authentic taste of Italy with every bite.
Ingredients
- San Marzano tomato sauce
- Fresh buffalo mozzarella imported from Italy
- House-made Italian sausage (pork, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes)
- 24-month aged prosciutto di Parma
- Fresh wild arugula
- Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Truffle oil drizzle
- Fresh basil
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Our signature 72-hour fermented pizza dough
Preparation
The Salvatore's Special begins with our special 72-hour fermented dough, which creates an exceptionally light and digestible crust with complex flavor. We spread our signature San Marzano tomato sauce and layer fresh buffalo mozzarella. Our house-made Italian sausage is then crumbled over the pizza before baking in our wood-fired oven at 850°F.
After baking, we add the delicate finishing touches: thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma, wild arugula, shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a light drizzle of truffle oil. These premium ingredients are added after baking to preserve their delicate flavors and textures.
Flavor Profile
This pizza offers an exquisite balance of flavors and textures - the savory depth of the sausage, the sweet-saltiness of the prosciutto, the peppery bite of fresh arugula, the richness of the cheeses, and the aromatic complexity of the truffle oil. Each bite delivers a different nuance, creating a truly memorable dining experience.

Customer Reviews
This pizza is absolutely worth every penny. As someone who's traveled extensively in Italy, I can confidently say this is the closest thing to authentic Italian pizza I've found in Canada. The quality of ingredients really shines through - especially the prosciutto and that truffle oil finish!
We ordered this for a special occasion and were blown away. The combination of flavors is incredible - the house-made sausage has the perfect amount of fennel and spice, and the prosciutto is clearly high quality. The arugula adds a fresh peppery note that balances the richness. It's expensive but absolutely worth it for a treat!
I can see why this is called the "Special" - it's truly on another level. The crust has this amazing chewiness that you can only get from properly fermented dough. The premium toppings work together perfectly, and the truffle oil is used with restraint so it enhances rather than overwhelms. My new favorite splurge!
