Fire up the pizza ovens and may the best chef win! Casati’s, 444 W. Fullerton Pkwy, invites guests to join them as they host a “Pinsa Showdown” featuring their own Michelin Star Chef Christian Fantoni, taking on challenger and Master Pinsa Chef Daniele Papa on Tuesday, October 8. All day, diners may enjoy a four-course meal, featuring two entrée Pinsas and two dessert Pinsas handcrafted by both Chef Fantoni and Chef Papa, for just $24 per person. Each guest will have the chance to vote to determine which Chef takes the crown. Casati’s specialty, Pinsa, is a delicious creation that offers diners a lighter and equally-mouthwatering take on traditional pizza – offering 90% less fat, carbs and gluten overall.
Michelin Star Chef Christian Fantoni is eager to welcome challenger Master Pinsa Chef Daniele Papa (flying in from Rome) to Casati’s for this special showdown and all-day dining experience. Both natives of Italy, these Chefs make for the perfect matchup as they have both perfected the craft of this Roman-style pizza dish. While each Pinsa will be a surprise to diners, they are sure to be delighted with each and every handcrafted course.
Owned and operated by Italy-native Stefano Casati with a kitchen led by Chef Fantoni, Casati’s is open for both lunch and dinner seven days a week and offers guests a light, fresh and healthy menu of authentic Italian favorites in an inviting atmosphere.
