The Sofia
The inspiration behind this one of a kind pizza recipe is Christian’s daughter Sofia and her journey which has been roller coaster and a triumph. This pizza defines Sofia as she is spicy, she’s sweet, she’s smooth and different. Sofia shows so much character whether going through surgery or having a good time. This pizza has a lot of character, textures and tastes, but they all come together harmoniously, just like her. *Recipe created by Christian Patriarca from Slice420 in Colorado Springs, CO 2021 Fior·di·Latte Recipe Contest Finalist
