ROMAN PIZZA
EXTRAORDINARY DOUGH
The story behind every Lago crust.
Long before the first topping is added, every pizza begins with carefully selected ingredients, premium Italian Tipo “00” flour, and a Roman-inspired approach to pizza making that’s been celebrated for generations.
It’s not just how we make pizza.
It’s why people remember it.
Crafted With Patience
Roman-style pizza isn’t rushed.
Neither is ours.
Our dough is carefully prepared to develop flavour, texture, and consistency before it ever reaches the oven.
The result is the combination our customers have come to love:
✔ Crispy edges
✔ Soft interior
✔ Beautiful chew
✔ Incredible flavour
It’s craftsmanship you can taste.
Great Pizza Starts With Great Flour
Every Lago pizza begins with premium Italian Tipo “00” flour.
The “00” classification refers to an exceptionally fine milling process that has been used by Italian bakers for generations.
This finely milled flour helps create dough with exceptional texture and workability, making it a favourite among traditional pizza makers.
Combined with the right recipe and preparation, it helps produce the light, crisp, airy crust that defines Roman-style pizza.
Why We Chose Italian Flour
We didn’t choose Italian flour because it was trendy.
We chose it because we wanted to build the best pizza possible.
Quality ingredients matter.
Every decision we make—from the flour we use to the toppings we select—is guided by one simple philosophy:
Never compromise the foundation.
Because great pizza doesn’t begin with toppings.
It begins with the dough.
A Different Pizza Experience
Many of our customers tell us they notice something different after their very first bite.
The crust feels lighter.
The texture is more balanced.
The pizza finishes clean without feeling overly heavy.
While everyone’s experience is unique, we believe thoughtful ingredients and careful preparation make a meaningful difference in the overall enjoyment of great pizza.
A Tradition That Started in Rome
The inspiration for every Lago pizza comes from one of Italy’s most beloved pizza styles:
Pizza al Taglio.
Meaning “pizza by the cut,” Roman-style pizza has been enjoyed throughout Rome for generations.
Unlike traditional round pizzas, Roman pizza is baked in rectangular pans and cut into generous slices designed for sharing.
Its signature characteristics include:
• A light, airy interior
• A crisp, golden crust
• Exceptional texture
• Premium ingredients
• Beautiful balance in every bite
It’s a style built around craftsmanship, patience, and quality.
Those same values guide everything we do at Lago.
Why Rectangle?
People often ask us why our pizzas aren’t round.
The answer is surprisingly simple.
Roman-style pizza was designed to be shared.
The rectangular shape creates:
✔ More crispy edge pieces
✔ Even baking from corner to corner
✔ Easy sharing
✔ Perfect slices for families and groups
Whether you’re heading back to the campground, feeding everyone at the cabin, or enjoying dinner after a day on Shuswap Lake, Roman pizza simply fits the way people gather.
Experience the Difference
The best way to understand Roman-style pizza isn’t to read about it.
It’s to taste it.
Whether you choose a classic Pepperoni, our signature Brazilian, a fresh Margherita, or any pizza on our menu, every slice begins with the same handcrafted Roman-inspired crust.
Fresh.
Authentic.
Built for sharing.
Built for lake life.
