Pisa Deli's Top Picks: Best Deli-Inspired Pizzas of 2025

Deli culture and pizza culture have merged to produce some of the year's most exciting pizzas. Pisa Deli selects the very best deli-inspired pizza combinations that delivered in 2025.

One. Editor's Pick: The Prosciutto Crudo and Fig
Cold-draped prosciutto di Parma over a fig and gorgonzola base pizza. The sweetness of fig, the sharpness of gorgonzola, and the salt of prosciutto form a perfectly balanced flavor triangle.

Two. Community Favorite: 'Nduja and Honey
The contrast between fiery 'nduja and local honey has captured enormous attention. The sweetness moderates the heat while amplifying the savory pork flavor. Universally liked despite its simplicity.

Three. Most Surprising: Mortadella and Pistachio
Thin-sliced mortadella with crushed pistachios and fresh stracciatella on a white pizza base. Light, elegant, and unlike any other pizza on the market. The pistachio crunch against the soft mortadella is exceptional.

Four. Most Requested: Soppressata with Calabrian Chili
The classic American pepperoni pizza elevated by using Italian soppressata and adding Calabrian chili oil after baking. The quality jump from pepperoni to soppressata is immediately perceptible.

Five. Seasonal Best: Bresaola with Arugula and Lemon
Summer-appropriate pizza: minimal tomato sauce, mozzarella, baked, then topped with a pile of arugula dressed with lemon zest and olive oil, finished with bresaola. Fresh and light with deep flavor.

Six. Value Pick: Salami and Pickled Pepper
Simple salami with pickled Calabrian peppers and mozzarella. The acid from the peppers cuts through the fat of the salami perfectly. Available at price points that make it an everyday option.
