Pizza Cappuccino: The Most Well-Known Italian Beverage

 If you’ve ever been to Italy, then you’re probably familiar with the delicious pizza cappuccino. However, if you haven’t, then you may be wondering what this unique drink is all about. This article will discuss the history and facts of pizza cappuccino and some ways that you can still enjoy this beverage when you’re at home or on the road.

What is it?

Pizza cappuccino is a coffee beverage that includes a shot of espresso with a dollop of foam on top. It's made by pouring hot milk into espresso, then topping it off with whipped cream, just as you would with traditional cappuccinos and lattes. Many restaurants in Italy serve cappuccino after meals, so it makes sense that pizza cappuccino—which adds additional nutrition in form of cheese to your beverage—is also often enjoyed after meals. However, it doesn't have any additional nutritional value over regular coffee and can be less filling due to its lower fat content.

Where does it come from?

A cappuccino is a coffee beverage mixed with steamed milk and layered with foamed milk. It's very popular in Italy, so much so that it's known as the fifth breakfast because most people drink it in place of their morning meal. In fact, there are even restaurants (known as bar Della collision) which exclusively serve cappuccinos. Pizza Cappuccino was invented in a branch of one such restaurant chain, Bar Pasticceria Biffa. At Bar Pasticceria Biffa you can order your cappuccino with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese for added pizza flavor! Many Italians drink Pizza Cappuccino during lunch or dinner as well. It is usually served hot, but many Italians have taken to ordering cold versions in recent years. What do they add to make it taste like pizza? Firstly, they add a mix of spices commonly used on pizzas including oregano and basil leaves. Secondly, they add marinara sauce - either homemade or store bought - on top of their foam layer before pouring in their milk mixture (which also contains tomato paste). They then finish off by sprinkling some mozzarella cheese on top. As far as toppings go, we're not sure what else goes into a Pizza Cappuccino - but we'd be happy to try!

How do you make it?

First, you need coffee. To make a traditional cappuccino, a double shot is poured into an 8 oz (250 ml) glass of warm milk (about 36 °C/97 °F). If you don’t want to use coffee beans to brew your cappuccino, instant espresso powder can be used in its place. If using instant espresso powder, it may be dissolved in a small amount of boiling water before adding it to hot milk. Alternatively, two teaspoons of sugar or half a teaspoon of cinnamon can be added directly to 4 oz (120 ml) of boiling water and stirred until dissolved before adding it to 8 oz (250 ml) of hot milk. This will give a sweeter taste to your drink. After stirring, add 1⁄2 tsp of vanilla extract or chocolate syrup (optional). Stir again and enjoy! Some people also like to top their cappuccinos with whipped cream.

Fast fact

Pizza cappuccinos are very popular in Italy, but they aren’t found anywhere else. That’s because pizza cappuccinos aren’t really cappuccinos, they are actually nothing more than iced coffees. In fact, many cafes in Italy will serve a ristretto caffè con panna e Zen zero, or an espresso with cream and ginger; call that a cappuccino and you can get away with charging 5 euros for it—if you're lucky! If you want to make your own at home, all you need is ice coffee concentrate (you can find some at any grocery store) and milk. Just pour some of your concentrate into a glass filled with ice cubes and then add milk. You could also add sugar if desired. If you have an espresso machine at home, just brew up some strong coffee over ice cubes, then pour it into a glass with milk as well.
