Pizza piezza is the brainchild of Ahmad Gozali, chef de cuisine at Sapori Deli restaurant in Fairmont Jakarta hotel.

Inspired by martabak telur (Indonesian savory crepe), Ahmad had a lightbulb moment while craving for telur dadar (omelet).

“When I went to take chilies on the counter, I saw my staff making Bolognese sauce. I thought it would be great to combine the omelet and Bolognese,” he said.

Pizza piezza is available at the hotel's Sapori Deli during the holy month of Ramadhan. However, those wanting to create the dish at home may want to check the recipe below. (asw)
