Pizza Night doesn’t come around often, but we generally like to eat at least once at Arte Bianca1 when we are in Sagres. So, when we left Fermento after the Wine Tasting and Tapas, a quick pizza seemed in order. Arte Bianca was on our route home, after calling at Armazem to sort out the bill hiccup.
Things have changed since our earlier visits. The Menu has shrunk! Particularly in the case of the dough, where there is now no choice. There used to be three types of dough, and all of them wonderful.
Due to the Tapas, we ordered no Starters. We did order just the one Couvert to share, to pass the time whilst we waited for the pizzas. It helped the House Red to go down well too.
The Veal and Tonnata Pizza is no longer available, requiring me to actually read the menu and choose something else. I plumped for the Burina (Peeled Italian tomato sauce, mozzarella fior di latte, Italian pancetta, fresh mushroom au gratin, tomatoes cherry confit, onions.) Mr Snail had his usual Diavola. We added a small green salad, to share.
Sadly, although both pizzas were delicious, they also suffered from soggy-bottoms. This has not been the case on our other visits.
The jury is now out on whether or not to return in the future, given the soggy pizza and an earlier run-in with the manager, about my cold Carbonara.
