They agreed to customise to replicate the best and most perfect pizza I had in my entire life while in Positano—with burrata, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, dried thyme or oregano, extra virgin olive oil, prosciutto and tomato sauce toppings.
I showed them the photo and told them the topping ingredients, but they used chopped regular tomato that wasn't ripe and sweet enough instead of cherry tomatoes in the end.
I then asked for cherry tomatoes which they brought to me in a bowl without extra charge, but they unfortunately were also not ripe and sweet enough; some were even green and tart.
They also added an ingredient I didn't ask for—chopped sun-dried tomato that was primarily and excessively salty—that caused the entire flavor profile to veer slightly saltier rather than sweet and refreshing.
Ripened cherry tomatoes would have nicely balanced out the mild saltiness of the prosciutto with their refreshing sweetness—barring their bland chopped regular tomato and excessively salty sun-dried tomato.
And they omitted the dried thyme or oregano which would have added aroma, flavor and visual texture, especially when their fresh basil—perhaps due to its growth, climate, harvest, storage and prep conditions—was lacking aroma and flavor. Neopolitan food is all about simple prep with the freshest, most robust, aromatic and flavorful ingredients grown in their nutrient-rich Vesuvian soil.
It's perhaps challenging and not cost effective to import fresh herbs and tomatoes from Italy and keeping them unbruised and fresh on arrival. However, Holland vine-ripened cherry tomatoes on the vine work just as well and are available locally. Local cherry tomatoes that are ripened are also easy to find—they just need to select the deep red ones, or store them for a short period for them to fully ripen.
But the flavors overall weren't too bad. The pizza may be slightly bland with only very mild sweetness—due to their bland, underripe fresh tomato toppings—and interspersed with unnecessary bursts of saltiness from the chopped sun-dried tomato, but it was still quite refreshing and creamy nonetheless with the fresh tomatoes and burrata—especially when paired with their very lemony delicious, zesty bright Limoncello Spritz which they have mastered to perfection.
Likewise for their Aperol Spritz. But their lemon one—was zestier, sweeter, more alcoholic and therefore way superior!
