By the cut
Sugo is an original idea from Rotterdam. In early 2015 Sugo introduced the ‘pizza al taglio’ concept. It literally means: By the cut. A variety of pizzas is baked in large rectangular trays and sold by part. The shape makes it easier to cut and divide the pizza to the buyer’s desire, This type was invented in Rome. The base is made of special organic flour and the dough is kneaded for 72 hours. This is really much longer than for a normal pizza. As a result, the dough contains 80% less yeast and the base has an airy structure.
A couple of years ago the local entrepreneur Herman Hell (known for Zalmhuis, NRC, Ayla, Café van Zanten and Sijf) took over the concept to expand.
The Zeezout x Sugo pizza will be served in both Zeezout and Sugo locations. At Zeezout as an amuse-bouche and at Sugo as a regular pizza on the menu.
