At Vespa Healthy Italian Café, we’re excited to share our passion: it is for Pinsa Romana! This isn’t just pizza; it is a taste of ancient Rome, made healthier and more delicious. For the best lunch & dinner in Sedona, now let’s explore what makes our Pinsa so special.
Unlike regular pizza, its dough is made from a mix of wheat, rice, and soy flours. Because of these ingredients, it’s lighter and easier to digest. The dough is also fermented for up to 72 hours. This long process makes the crust crispy on the outside and soft inside. As a result, you get a tasty flatbread that won’t leave you feeling heavy.
What makes Pinsa different? It starts with the flour. We use a blend of wheat, rice, and soy.
WHEAT FLOUR helps with the taste and keeps water in the dough.
SOY FLOUR adds protein and fiber, making it nutritious.
RICE FLOUR makes the crust crispy.
Next, time is key. The dough rises for 72 hours in a cold place. During this time, gluten, a protein that can be hard to digest, breaks down. This makes Pinsa easier on your stomach. The long fermentation also creates a unique flavor.
There are many reasons to love Pinsa!
EASY TO DIGEST: Because of the long fermentation, it’s gentler on your stomach.
LOWER IN GLUTEN: The mix of flours reduces the amount of gluten.
NUTRIENT RICH: The flours are minimally processed, keeping vitamins and minerals intact.
LLIGHTER TEXTURE: You’ll feel full, but not stuffed.
LOWER GI: Pinsa is scoring “average GI level” (beneath the 70) making it better for a healthy blood sugar level.
At Vespa, we focus on healthy ingredients. We use organic greens and fresh fruits. We import special items from Italy. As a result, our Pinsa is good for you and delicious.
We care about quality, so we use Italian biologico flours. While both biologico and U.S. organic flours avoid chemicals, they’re different. Italian biologico flour often uses ancient wheat types. These are easier to digest and have more nutrients. They’re also stone-milled, keeping their natural goodness.
Our signature Pinsa Romana is more than just a dish. It’s a traditional Roman flatbread, with a light texture. Due to the 72-hour leavening process and unique blend of organic flours, it is easy to digest. With a balanced pH level, it ensures a satisfying experience without any heaviness.

Note: While our Pinsa is easier to digest, it is not gluten-free. If you have celiac disease or a severe allergy, consider other options.
