LOVE AT FIRST BITE – CRAZY PIZZA OPENS IN MONTE CARLO
by Ilaria Salerno
MONACO. We have received the following press release that we gladly publish and forward. This formidable and deliciously tasty initiative due to the famous Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore testifies to the excellence of Made in Italy in the restaurant sector, put to the test all over the world by the pandemic emergency. Crazy Pizza is part of Billionaire Life, the leading curator of luxury dining, entertainment experiences and indulgent living. Founded in Porto Cervo, Italy in 1998 by F1 legend Flavio Briatore, Billionaire Life has established its position in the elite entertainment and hospitality world with destinations across Europe, the UK, the Middle East and Africa.
CRAZY PIZZA! What’s so crazy about Crazy Pizza? It’s those crazy thin crusts, made from a special yeast free dough, whipped up by Crazy Pizza’s master pizza chefs. A crust base crowned by home-made mozzarella, fresh tomato sauce and topped with huge dollops of Italian brio.
This is the latest creation of Formula 1 legend and entrepreneur, Flavio Briatore, and part of his Billionaire Life brand portfolio. Crazy Pizza’s slick and playful dining concept launched first at The Billionaire Club in Porto Cervo in 2018, was followed soon after by Crazy Pizza London, in the heart of trendy Marylebone.
And now… Crazy Pizza is in Monte Carlo at a sea front location with an open-air terrace in the charming and eclectic Port Hercules, the harbor area.
WHAT’S THE SECRET TO CRAZY PIZZA’S PIZZA?
Well, that’s our secret. We’ll only say that there’s a special ingredient in the yeast-free dough. The mozzarella is home-made daily, and the fresh vine tomatoes and ingredients are blended right at your table. Italy’s famous Morello ovens create just the right crispness and out comes the best mouth-watering pizza you’ve ever tasted.
AND THAT’S JUST CRAZY! Our stars Pizzas include the Profumata made with tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, homemade mozzarella, garlic and basil and the Formaggi made with mozzarella, Grana Padano and Gorgonzola. If you are looking for extra indulgent experience, choose from the selection of extravagant “Crazy Pizzas”: the Pata Negra, the Crazy Pizza Focaccia and the Tartufo with mozzarella, fresh black truffle and white truffle. Sophisticated, eccentric, traditional and just crazy.
MANGIA BENE, RIDI SPESSO / Eat well, laugh often!
Eat our pizza and plunge into a new experience; a new taste – we have kept the centuries old tradition but added new thinking to the Italian staples. Discover freshly sliced Bresaola, served alongside zucchini carpaccio, mint, olive oil and zesty lime. And our Burrata, accompanied by datterino tomatoes, fragrant basil and extra virgin olive oil, just for starters.
Diners can also choose from a selection of delectable daily homemade batches of mozzarellas, accompanied by mixed colorful vine tomatoes, basil leaves and the finest extra virgin olive oil, making for an indulgent addition to the authentic Italian experience.
MOZZARELLA LAB: Mozzarella is fundamental to the Crazy Pizza experience. Made using traditional techniques dating back hundreds of years, our chefs create daily homemade batches of mozzarella, fresh parcels of joy, right in front of our guests, made on the day, eaten on the day!
The in-house mozzarella bar presents a feast for the senses and is a mark of distinction that sets Crazy Pizza apart.
GREEN BAR: Following two fundamental guidelines of creating dishes with top quality products and ingredients, Crazy Pizza displays an amazing selection of fresh, colorful and crunchy vegetables, ready to be turned into a collection of beautifully prepared and nutritious salads,
such as Detox Lion Salad with avocado, zucchini, cucumber, mixed leaves, green apple and an avocado dressing, and the Spinach Salad made with baby spinach and fine beans with pine nuts and honey sesame dressing.
The wine cellar houses vintage and hard-to-find bottles from every corner of Italy, as well as the freshest champagnes and aperitifs, to ensure every part of the dining experience is perfectly enhanced with a wittily matched, sensual glass of something special.
THE VIBE: With its brick red walls and soft bottle green leather seating, Crazy Pizza has a luxurious yet relaxed vibe. The animated service imagines a simpatico “in the family” atmosphere. Everything is presented in the spirit of Italy – la bella vita, artistry and performance – whether it’s traditional tiramisu served at the table, or the wide range of cocktails from the expert mixologists.
Dine on a mix of iconic Italian tunes and cool modern beats from the resident DJ. Delight in the art of the pizza-spinning chefs and plating tailor-made dishes table-side. And don’t forget to snap those Instagram-worthy photos.
The open terrace offers a stunning view of Monte Carlo from Port Hercules, with expansive “al fresco” Aperitive and dining areas, comfortable canvas seating and warm wooden decking giving an intimate, relaxed feel.
Low lighting and playful touches complete the space, giving it a uniquely inviting character that perfectly reflects the restaurant’s mood.
Last but not least, Crazy Pizza Monte Carlo features Maison Barbarac, the most famous artisanal ice cream originated in Saint-Tropez. Between sorbets, verrines, yoghurts, and ice creams, you will have the choice to complement your crazy meal with a multitude of exquisite flavours in cones or jars.
OPENING HOURS : Everyday from 6 pm until late. We’re waiting for you. You’d be crazy not to come!
