Have you ever tried a pizza with coffee as a topping? It might sound strange, but Mister 01’s Extraordinary Pizza, has made the “Coffee Paolo” a signature menu item. Are you Intrigued yet? Our waiter encouraged us to try it, saying most people fall in love with the unique flavor combination. All I can say is, he was right!
Mister O1 is all about high-quality ingredients and meticulous preparation. They use a thin-crust dough that rises for a full 72 hours before baking resulting in a light and crispy base. Their commitment to freshness extends to their toppings also, with many imported directly from Italy or sourced locally.
The Coffee Paolo at Mister 01’s is a bold combination of sweet and savory.
It starts with a base of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, the foundation for any classic pizza. Gorgonzola cheese, known for its sharp and tangy flavor, is added for a complex kick. A spicy salami calabrese gives it a salty savory bite for the meat-lovers. Lastly, A drizzle of natural honey and a sprinkle of coffee balances it all out.
Yes, coffee as a topping! Skeptical? The coffee adds a subtle depth of flavor that complements the other ingredients without overpowering them. It has an earthy/smoky undertone, enhancing the overall pizza. The coffee adds a hearty “roasted” flavor, complimenting an oven-roasted pizza like a bit of char on the crust would.
Of course, coffee isn’t for everyone. If you’re a pizza purist, Mister O1’s offers a wide range of other pizzas. They have classic options like Margherita and Pepperoni, or even more adventurous choices like the famous star-shaped pizzas.
For those looking to push their pizza boundaries…
The Coffee Paolo is worth a try, but there are many more “Extraordinary” combinations on the menu. So next time you’re in Florida, or maybe their new international location in Saudi Arabia, be bold and give Mr. 01 a chance. You just might discover your new favorite pizza topping.
