Pizza Quattro Formaggi in Knightsbridge
Four cheeses, a little pear, a thread of truffle honey. ALBA's Quattro Formaggi is the indulgent end of the pizza menu: rich, sweet-savoury, and fired in the wood oven until the cheeses bubble together. This is authentic Italian wood-fired pizza at its most indulgent.
The Four Cheeses
Quattro Formaggi lives or dies by its cheeses and their balance: something creamy, something sharp, something blue, something that melts. ALBA layers them over a base without heavy tomato, so the dairy leads. Pear brings sweetness, and truffle honey a fragrant, savoury finish.
The ALBA Quattro Formaggi
The twenty-four-hour dough, the Naples-built oven, four cheeses melted to a single glossy top, thin slices of pear, and a drizzle of truffle honey to finish. A pizza that eats almost like a course in itself.
It shares the wood-fired oven with the signature ALBA pizza and the Diavola, and echoes the truffle in the hand-cut truffle tagliolini.
