Books & Books Summer Grilling Project
Macchialina, South Beach’s treasured Italian hotspot, will be bringing back its O.P.P. (Outstanding Pizza and Prosecco) Sunday series for one-night only. Chef Mike Pirolo’s authentic grandma pies offer a taste of Sicily right here in South Florida that pizza enthusiasts will not want to miss! Priced at $22 each, Chef Pirolo's Sicilian Pies are uniquely prepared with authentic Cinque Stagioni flour imported from Parma, Italy and set to rise for 72 hours.
Pies on offer will include a Traditional to 24-month aged Prosciutto; Sausage and Peppers; and Parmigiano and Arugula. Chef will also be offering La Bianca, a specialty pie with fontina, mozzarella, fiore sardonic, braised broccoli rabe and calabrese chili oil. To accompany the perfect Sunday meal, sip on a selection of bubbles (including Prosecco and Lambrusco) for just $8 per glass. Diners are advised to reserve their pie when reserving a table due to the limited number of pies available—there’s only so much dough to go around.
