Pizza and Ice Cream Pairing
At Cafe Bellissimo, we believe that great food is all about balance - whether it’s a crispy, cheesy pizza or a smooth, creamy scoop of ice cream. While pizza and ice cream might not seem like the most traditional pairing, the contrast of hot and cold, sweet and savory, makes for an unforgettable experience. Here’s how to combine your favorite pizzas with our authentic Italian ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
1. Classic Margherita & Creamy Blueberry Cheese Cake
The simplicity of a Margherita pizza, with its fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Origanum, pairs beautifully with the rich and smooth taste of classic blueberry cheese cake gelato ice cream. The creamy sweetness of blueberries balances the tanginess of the tomato sauce, making each bite a delightful contrast of flavors.
2. Soprano & Oreo Ice Cream Cup
The bold, spicy kick of salami and bacon meets its perfect match in a crunchy, chocolatey Oreo ice cream cup. The saltiness of the pepperoni enhances the sweetness of the Oreo, creating a flavor explosion that keeps you coming back for more.
3. BBQ Chicken Pizza & Brownie Ice Cream Cup
The smoky, slightly sweet taste of BBQ chicken pizza is a fantastic companion to the rich, fudgy goodness of brownie ice cream. The warm barbecue sauce combined with cold, chocolatey ice cream makes for an irresistible contrast in every bite.
4. Three Cheese Pizza & Italian Strawberry Gelato
The intense creaminess of Three cheese pizza loaded with mozzarella, cheddar and feta - needs something fruity and refreshing to cleanse the palate. Our Italian strawberry gelato brings a burst of natural sweetness that complements the richness of the cheeses perfectly.
5. Hawaiian Pizza & Soft Serve Swirl
Love it or hate it, Hawaiian pizza with its sweet pineapple and savory ham is a fun pairing with a classic soft-serve swirl. The light, airy texture of the ice cream enhances the tropical sweetness of the pineapple while cooling down the saltiness of the ham.
6. Spicy Mexican & Chocolate Gelato
If you love spice, then a Mexican pizza with spicy ground beef is the way to go. The heat of the chili-infused beef pairs beautifully with the deep, velvety richness of chocolate gelato. The smooth, sweet chocolate helps tame the spice, making each bite even more enjoyable.
7. Vegetarian Pizza & Lemon Sorbet
For those who prefer a lighter pizza, a veggie-loaded pizza pairs wonderfully with lemon sorbet. The fresh, zesty sorbet enhances the flavours of vegetables while providing a refreshing contrast to the cheese and dough.
8. Meat Lovers Pizza & Noughat Snicker
A hearty, meat-loaded pizza needs an equally bold ice cream. Snickers gelato, with its nougat and nut flavour, cuts through the richness of the meats, providing a refined yet indulgent balance of flavors.
