Pizza. Just the word itself can conjure images of bubbling cheese, fragrant tomato sauce, and a perfectly crisp-chewy crust. Here at Ristorante Acquerello in Landquart, we believe pizza is an art form, a canvas for culinary creativity, especially when kissed by the flames of our traditional wood-fired oven.
While the simple perfection of a classic Margherita will always hold a special place in our hearts (and on our menu!), we invite you to venture beyond. Our pizza chefs are passionate about combining the finest Italian traditions with innovative twists, resulting in a universe of gourmet pizzas waiting to be explored.
The Reigning Queen: Our Classic Margherita
Let’s give credit where it’s due. Our Margherita (Tomato, mozzarella, basil) is a testament to the beauty of simplicity.
The vibrant San Marzano tomato sauce, creamy Fior di Latte mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves create a harmony that’s beloved worldwide. It’s the benchmark, the true taste of Naples, and a fantastic starting point.
But Wait, There’s a Whole Galaxy to Discover!
Ready to expand your pizza horizons? Our menu is dotted with creations that showcase unique flavour combinations and premium ingredients. Each one is a journey for your taste buds. Let’s spotlight a few stars from our gourmet pizza collection:
The Signature: Pizza Acquerello
(Tomato, mozzarella, spicy salami, mascarpone, arugula, shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano)
Our namesake masterpiece is a perfect balance of bold and delicate. The spicy kick of the salami is beautifully mellowed by the creamy mascarpone, while fresh, peppery arugula and salty shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano add layers of texture and sophisticated flavour. It’s an Acquerello experience in every bite.
The Elegant One: Pizza Miss Italia
(Mozzarella, buffalo, tricolore tomatoes, Parma ham, shavings of Parmigiano, arugula)
A tribute to Italian elegance and freshness! This pizza features creamy buffalo mozzarella as its base, adorned with vibrant tricolore tomatoes, luxurious Prosciutto di Parma, more Parmigiano, and a flourish of arugula. It’s as beautiful to look at as it is to eat, offering a lighter yet deeply satisfying profile.
The Adventurous Spirit: Pizza Stroganoff
(Tomato, mozzarella, garlic, bell peppers, mushrooms, champignon, beef fillet)
Yes, you read that right! For those who love a delicious surprise, our Pizza Stroganoff is a must-try. We’ve taken the rich, savoury flavours of the classic beef stroganoff tender beef fillet, earthy mushrooms, sweet bell peppers, and a hint of garlic and masterfully translated them onto our signature pizza base. It’s a bold, comforting, and utterly unique creation.
A Taste of the Region: Pizza Landquart
(Tomato, mozzarella, cooked ham, spicy salami, spinach, eggs)
A hearty and flavourful pizza that pays homage to our home. This satisfying creation combines the familiar comfort of cooked ham and spicy salami with the earthy notes of spinach, all brought together by a perfectly baked egg on top. It’s a robust choice that’s full of character.
The Art of the Acquerello Pizza
Beyond these highlights, our menu features many other treasures, from the fiery Diavola to the rich Four Cheeses, and delightful vegetarian options like the Ortolana and Parmigiana. What ties them all together?
Authentic Wood-Fired Oven: Imparting that unmistakable smoky char and perfect crust.
Quality Ingredients: From our carefully selected tomatoes and mozzarella to the premium toppings sourced with an eye for Italian authenticity and regional quality (as detailed on page 2 of our menu!).
