Wood-fired pizza near Leszno - Italian classic the Greater Poland way

The dough and the oven

The foundation of a good pizza is the dough and the oven. Long-proved dough and the oven's high temperature give a thin, crispy base with a fluffy, baked crust - the kind we know from good Italian pizzerias. Short proving and too low a temperature don't give that effect, whatever the toppings. The Margherita, the simplest test of any pizzeria, comes out with character with us precisely thanks to good dough and the oven. It's the base that decides everything - without it even the best ingredients won't save a pizza. That's why we start right there.

Ingredients without compromise

On good dough we build flavour from good ingredients. San Marzano tomatoes, real mozzarella, fresh basil and local additions in seasonal items - a short list, full flavour. We don't take shortcuts with cheap substitutes, because you can taste it at once. The quality of the ingredients is as important as the dough and the oven; these three elements together make a good pizza. Seasonal additions let us introduce variations tied to the time of year. Simplicity from good products always beats an overloaded pizza of random ingredients - less is more on the dough too.

Pizza for the whole family

Wood-fired pizza is a dish that reconciles the whole table. The Margherita from the children's menu is a hit with the youngest, and the gluten-free variant means guests on a diet order pizza too - no exceptions. This way at one table everyone can eat the same dish in their own version: children a simple Margherita, adults the seasonal items, people on a diet the gluten-free variant. This makes pizza an ideal choice for a family lunch or a casual get-together. A shared dish that satisfies everyone is a rarity - and wood-fired pizza is exactly that.

Italian classic the Greater Poland way

Our pizza is an Italian classic with a local accent. We stick to Italian principles - good dough, a hot oven, San Marzano and mozzarella - but in the seasonal items we reach for local, Greater Poland additions. This combination of tradition with regional character gives a pizza that's authentic yet has something of its own. We don't pretend to be Naples but make good pizza here, near Leszno, with respect for the original. This balance between the Italian classic and locality makes our pizza taste familiar and stand out at the same time.

Where and how to eat our pizza

You can eat our wood-fired pizza on site - in the restaurant or, in summer, in the garden amid greenery - or order it to take away. On site it tastes best straight from the oven, with the crispy base at its peak. In summer, pizza in the garden with a lemonade and a playground for the children next door is a ready idea for a family lunch. Takeaway works when you fancy a good pizza at home. Whatever the form, 25 minutes from Leszno separates you from a pizza from a real oven, from good dough and ingredients.

Why it's worth driving over for pizza

A good wood-fired pizza is a dish worth driving a little out of town for. Long-proved dough, a hot oven and ingredients without compromise give an effect no chain or frozen product achieves. Add the gluten-free variant, the children's menu and the summer garden, and pizza at Toscania is a dish for the whole family. 25 minutes from Leszno is a small price for a pizza made with passion and according to the right principles. Come and see how the Italian classic tastes the Greater Poland way - on site, in the garden or to take away.
