Certified in Rome to produce Originale Pinsa Romana, Tavola Nostra Pizzeria e Cucina at 1040 University Ave B101 opened in 2020 as Hillcrest's first Pinsa Romana destination. Italian wines selected to match the pinsa's high-hydration crumb and the Sicilian antipasti round out a full drink menu, a pairing philosophy shared with FruitCraft - Winery, Distillery & Event Venue's small-producer pours on the same Hillcrest block. Pinsa uses a high-hydration blend of imported Italian flours to create a lighter, crispier crust than traditional Neapolitan dough, paired with Sicilian-heritage antipasti like house-made arancini and meatballs with pecorino. The high-hydration pinsa dough requires a 72-hour rise using imported Italian flours blended to a proprietary ratio, a long-fermentation approach echoed by the naturally leavened sourdough at Prager Brothers Artisan Breads nearby. The restaurant coordinates multi-course Sicilian catering packages for private events, birthday dinners, and corporate functions inside its dedicated dining room.
