National Potato Month with Coronato's Potato Pizza

As humans who love starches, we are always eager for any excuse to indulge in an array of potato dishes. It doesn’t have to be #NationalPotatoMonth for us to be craving the Potato Pizza at Coronato Pizza. Served on Coronato’s signature crispy, cracker-thin Roman crust, the base of slow roasted potato and garlic gives it a soft and savory layer that is complemented by the addition of fontina, fresh mozzarella, and Parmigiana cheeses. The seemingly heavy pizza is brightened with the pleasing addition of preserved lemon for a touch of acidity and aromatic rosemary for an additional crunch. This ‘za is a Coronato classic rooted in Roman tradition making it worth a pilgrimage to Carrboro. 

“Potatoes, rosemary, olive oil, and sea salt are very traditional pizza topping in Roma. Whether it be thinly sliced waxy potatoes that are shingled on top of the cracker-like pizza Romana or the pillowy soft potatoes that are scattered onto Roman pan pizzas that are commonly served by the slice, you will regularly find potatoes as a base layer of the flatbreads of Rome. It is such an important part of Ramon pizza culture that I knew I had to share it with the Coronato Community. So so delicious.” - Chef Teddy Diggs; Coronato Pizza
