Sp143 Pizzeria Contemporanea In Orbassano

It was so soft it felt like I was eating a cloud.

Very good pizzas, a rich dough made with quality ingredients. We ordered the tasting menu. I wouldn't have included a dessert made with pizza dough, but obviously a sweet one, because we thought it needed something soft, like a pudding or something similar. It was still good, but we agreed that after trying so many different types of pizza, we needed a break. We'll be back.

The pizza here is always good, easy to digest, and made with quality ingredients. It's obviously not "popular" prices, but it's worth it. The beers are excellent (especially the dark ones), and the staff are all smiling and very friendly. The winter location is beautiful, with a huge window overlooking the fields. The summer location, in my opinion, is a bit improvised; I'm not crazy about it.

beautiful place with incredible tranquility

Let me start by saying that I'm a pizza lover, perhaps even obsessed with it. I appreciate it as a food, as a social gathering place, as a common thread with precious memories. I'll also start by saying that I don't think I suffer from keyboard-savvy delusions of omnipotence, so I hope this opinion will be taken as such—that is, a single personal contribution to a single experience. I found SP143 in the Gambero Rosso guide, one of the references closest to my tastes for trying new pizzas, so my expectations were high. Furthermore, we are in a historical moment in which the average level of pizzerias in Italy is generally very high, and I am a very demanding customer. The atmosphere, the service, the farinata and desserts, the raw materials and toppings... everything exudes quality and attention, so it's with a heavy heart that I have to say that I found a pizza that certainly had its own identity, but it didn't give me the WOW effect, as if it were a bit "weak." The menu states an indirect dough (biga) made with multigrain flour, aged for a minimum of 48 hours, and a well-leavened and crispy crust. I expect a pizza with a nice, airy crust, crispy on the outside and a yielding texture on the inside (without knowing the strength of the flour and the maturation temperatures, it's difficult to imagine how melt-in-the-mouth and firm it will be when bitten). I tasted three pizzas, so aside from the toppings, I'd say the pizza was cooked evenly, with a thin, slightly crispy crust on the base. The flavor was a bit rustic, and overall, the pizza was light and easily digestible. However, I didn't find the crust particularly well-leavened or particularly crispy. All in all, a decent pizza, modeled after "Roman" pizza, if we wanted to categorize it. If I wanted to get technical about the toppings, I personally would have left the base creams a little more moist, because they thickened considerably during cooking, and I prefer the top of the disc to be a little more moist. Furthermore, the menu states that the pizzas are served in 8 slices, with a dough ball weighing 220g. And here's the other flaw: the dough ball is tiny, not even reaching the standard 240-250g minimum, let alone the 270-280g of the most generous pizza chefs. So, where does my disappointment lie? The price. From my point of view, a price range of €14 to €23 is unjustifiable. We're thus comparing ourselves to the most renowned pizzerias in the Milan area, although the level of experience is not comparable. We're in the middle of the countryside on the outskirts of Turin (not to disparage its dignity in any way, but focusing on the rental/purchase price, I hope it's much lower). The pizza dough is small, and the pizzas, served in eight slices, aren't topped with special attention to detail, but simply cut before serving. There's not even a Margherita-like or Marinara-like version, which would emphasize the intrinsic characteristics of such a rustic dough and such carefully selected tomatoes. I reiterate that this is a review expressing a completely personal point of view and tastes. I'm also open to a direct discussion, should you wish, because I don't intend to hide behind a screen. Good luck.

The pizza was of significantly superior quality. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Congratulations. Highly recommended.
