The topping on my delicious aubergine pizza included pesto made with walnuts, plus a smoked ricotta, both harmonising perfectly with tender aubergine. I thought this dish was spectacular value at less than \u00a310, having paid nearly twice as much for inferior pizzas elsewhere.<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"edgtf-testimonial-author\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"edgtf-testimonials-author-name\">timeandleisure.co.uk<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"edgtf-testimonial-content\" id=\"edgtf-testimonials-8405\">\n\t\t<div class=\"edgtf-testimonial-text-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"edgtf-testimonial-text\">Matteo and Salvatore Aloe are the brothers behind Berber\u00e8, the pizzeria that set out to rock the boat by serving oven-scorched dough with fresh toppings added afterwards.(...)\u00a0Then there\u2019s the pizza \u2013 the dough, fermented for 24h, still originates from the original mother yeast they used when first launching Berber\u00e8 back in 2010. Still abiding by their \u2018fresh is best\u2019 mantra, toppings range from classic margheritas and marinaras to salami and \u2018nduja, baked aubergine, and \u2013 to honour their first British branch \u2013 Yorkshire sausage.<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"edgtf-testimonial-author\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"edgtf-testimonials-author-name\">thenudge.com<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"edgtf-testimonial-content\" id=\"edgtf-testimonials-8407\">\n\t\t<div class=\"edgtf-testimonial-text-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"edgtf-testimonial-text\">It isn\u2019t Neapolitan, Roman, or gourmet \u2013it\u2019s pop. And it requires only excellent ingredients, while the dough (weighing 280 grams) is made from semi-whole and organic flours, the result of the study and research carried out with Alce Nero. Berber\u00e8 pizza is aristocratic but democratic. The result? Pizza that is light, digestible, with well-aerated nooks and crannies, soft (inside) and crunchy (outside). This is how the Aloe brothers, Matteo and Salvatore (chef and entrepreneur, respectively), interpret pizza.<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"edgtf-testimonial-author\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"edgtf-testimonials-author-name\">La Grande Cucina<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;We use our pizza superpower to spread happiness&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;titolo-interno&#8221;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At first it was just the two of us &#8211; Matteo and Salvatore, two brothers from Calabria.
