The Panzerotto Pugliese is a circle of pizza dough, formed into a crescent and filled with tomato and mozzarella. The crescent dough is then fried in seed oil and can also be filled with a variety of ingredients, from minced beef and peppers to chicken or pulled pork.
Gianni Perillo is the man brining the Panzerotto Pugliese to the streets of London, who pitches his street food stall at Greenwich Market on Thursdays and Fridays.
He said: “When you think of the Italian street food market, you think of the conventional pizzas and pasta dishes that have been a staple in UK diets for years. But being a street trader has taught me that English palates are ready for something new!
“The Panzerotto Pugliese is a brand new concept for the UK, packed with real Italian ingredients and made fresh right in front of every customer’s eyes – get ready for an Italian taste sensation like nothing you’ve ever experienced!”
