Featuring the finest Italian ingredients and time-honoured traditional methods, but with a very contemporary twist, the ZIA pop-up restaurant at the Hôtel Métropole will be serving up pizzas like no others in the Principality this summer season.
The new ZIA pop-up at the Hôtel Métropole’s Odyssey venue, a collaborative effort between the five star hotel and Intuicion Limited, officially opened on 12th June.
Chefs Manon Santini and Rocco Seminara have spent the last few months perfecting their menu of pizzas, both savoury and sweet, which will be all be made from dough rested for up to 72 hours to achieve the ideal combination of lightness and crispiness.
The pair uses the best Italian ingredients to create the bases, such as whole grain and cereal flours, as well as choice specialties from the nation’s various regions for the toppings, such as truffles and hazelnuts.
Of course, there are the classics, like the Margherita and Napolitana, but the duo has also dreamt up an array of creative and exotic options that will feature the likes of avocado and caviar.
Chef Santini won the 2019 World Champion Dessert Pizza award and is pulling out all the stops to offer diners a unique pizza experience in this glorious outdoor setting.
The ZIA pop-up is open for dinner service from Wednesday to Sunday until 31st August. Buon appetito!
