The pizza alla diavola has always excited you but you have not yet decided to prepare one? If its spiciness does not scare you and, indeed, its taste intrigues you, you are in the right place! Follow my advice, discover all the curiosities and know the most suitable chilies for your pizza alla diavola.

HISTORY

The first appearance of the word "pizza" dates back to 997 and is located in the area of Gaeta. In ancient times the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans made a version similar to the pizza we know today, but the original one was invented in 1889 by a Neapolitan chef called Raffaele Esposito. The first pizza ever made was the Margherita, the tricolor pizza with tomato, mozzarella and basil in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy.

CURIOSITY

The pizza alla diavola is one of those pizzas that can be easily found in any pizzeria. Not only in Italy, but also all over the world and especially in the United States and Canada the pizza alla diavola is very famous. With a variant though! North Americans call the spicy salami "pepperoni". Do not get confused: "pepperoni" has nothing to do with peppers, but derives from "pepper". In English "pepper" means pepper, from pepper we went to pepperoni in an instant. The pizza alla diavola has thus become the "pepperoni pizza" thanks to the Italian sounding that "pepperoni" gives to the expression if it is precisely combined with a typically Italian word such as "pizza". Man forewarned half saved! Now you also know how to order a devil-style pizza in North America in case you were away from home and you feel a strong lack of spicy pizza!


Salame Piccante is a spicy Italian cured meat made with different sized chunks of pork meat (size 12) which are carefully selected according to the traditional homemade recipe. It is seasoned with paprika and hot chili following a typical Calabrian recipe. The strong, inviting aroma of the salami is due to the blend of natural flavourings. The taste is hot and aromatic, well-balanced, not too fatty and with no foreign, metallic or overly acidic flavours. Its appearance is typical of cured salami, it is stuffed into a beef casing and weighs 1.8/2.0 kg. This long, cylindrical salami is covered in natural mould, adding to its rustic charm. Inside the meat has a regular consistency and the fat is evenly distributed.
