Pizza is a universal language, but at Trattoria Riccardo, we’ve given it a voice of our own. Our signature dish, the Tronchetto Alla Riccardo, is a creation that blends tradition with innovation, quickly becoming a must-try for those searching for pizza Malta.
Unlike your classic round pizza, the Tronchetto Alla Riccardo takes a unique rolled form, filled with rich mozzarella fior di latte, homemade pistachio cream, gooey stracciatella, topped with delicious mortadela artigianale and crushed pistachios. It’s a dish that surprises first-time diners, yet delights with every bite.
The inspiration behind the Tronchetto came from a desire to craft something that could stand out among Malta’s thriving pizzerias. While respecting Italian tradition, we wanted to bring a playful twist – something that speaks both to authenticity and creativity.
Guests often tell us this is the best pizza in Malta they’ve tasted, and while we’ll leave the final verdict to you, we know it represents everything we value as a trattoria: bold flavours, high-quality ingredients, and a touch of flair.
As a true pizza restaurant in Malta, we don’t cut corners. Our dough is made with love, our pizzaiolos add an extra sprinkle of Italian magic, and each Tronchetto is baked to perfection in our stone oven. For those with dietary needs, we even cater with options like gluten free pizza Malta diners can enjoy.
Whether you’re searching for a cosy pizza place Malta locals recommend, exploring pizza Bugibba, or simply on the hunt for the best pizzeria in Malta, Trattoria Riccardo’s Tronchetto promises to impress. It’s not just pizza – it’s our signature.
