History and Tradition
Pizzardi Artigianale has been chosen by the Fine Dining Table team as the best pizza in Colombia in 2024, standing out for its authenticity and quality in every detail. To learn more about its history, we spoke with Andrea Bornacelli, who told us how this project was born and what makes it unique.
“The history of Pizzardi began about 10 years ago with my husband. We both have Italian ancestry, and every time we traveled to Italy, we would say: ‘There is no pizza like this in Colombia.’ One day, in Barranquilla, we met an Italian chef who had won the award for the best pizza and started teaching us the secrets of true Italian pizza.”
Andrea tells us that it all started as a home project: “We bought a small oven and brought high-quality ingredients from Italy. Then, we consulted with experts in the restaurant industry and gradually perfected our recipes.”
The Secret to a Perfect Pizza
One of the key elements of Pizzardi’s pizza is the dough, made with a traditional Italian recipe and fermented for the right amount of time to achieve the perfect texture. Additionally, they use imported ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella.
“The secret to our sauce is that we use 100% San Marzano tomatoes from Italy. There is no need to add much more because the tomato itself is already spectacular. That makes a huge difference in the final taste of the pizza.”
Each pizza is cooked in a special oven at over 700 degrees, ensuring a quick cooking time and a crust that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Beyond Pizza: A Complete Experience
Pizzardi Artigianale not only focuses on the quality of its food but also on providing an authentically Italian dining experience.
“The design of the restaurant has been a fundamental aspect. With our background in interior design, we wanted every detail to contribute to a cozy and elegant atmosphere. We also pay special attention to service: from social media interactions to the moment the customer receives their bill, everything must be impeccable.”
Additionally, the beverage menu complements the experience: “All our wine bottles are Italian, as well as our water and beers. We want our guests to feel like they are in Italy when they visit Pizzardi.”
