Parsley-Infused Pizza Dough

Infusing Italian pizza dough with parsley is a quick and effective way to add a burst of flavor to your homemade pizzas. Experiment with herb-infused doughs to find your ideal combination, bringing a touch of sophistication to your pizza-making endeavors.


“My culinary journey began at the age of 14 when I started working at a pizzeria in Venice. Back then, I was crafting hundreds of pizzas each night. My goal is to encapsulate the true flavors of Venice and showcase them in every dish,” said Alberto Leandri, Executive Chef at Il Venetian, Marriott at Key Tower and Nino’s Pizza. “It brings me great joy to see diners recognizing the carefully-chosen ingredients and appreciating the overall freshness of the experience.”
