It may seem odd to visit a place known for its pizzas and pastas for brunch, but Pizza Craft Pizzeria in Fort Lauderdale puts a new spin on this weekend staple.
Italian flavors are, of course, center stage here infused with a sweet and savory touch.
The menu? How about French Toast with a twist — made with Panettone (Italian sweet bread) then topped with mascarpone and fresh fruit or Lemon Ricotta Pancakes served with blueberries, mascarpone and maple syrup. Avocado Toast takes on new meaning when it’s served on a baguette with poached egg, Italian chilies, heirloom tomatoes and parmigiana.
And yes, there’s a Brunch Pizza — topped with farm egg, fresh mozzarella, smoked bacon, fingerling potato, shallots and parmigiana.
Those with a sweet tooth won’t be disappointed: there are Zeppole Doughnuts, Nutella Pizza and Ricotta Cheesecake.
Pair all this deliciousness with a signature cocktail — perhaps the Brunching Buck with Old Forester Bourbon, prosecco, watermelon juice, lemon and fresh ginger; the Garibaldi — Campari and fluffy orange juice; or the Missionary’s Downfall a blend of Plantation Rum, Crème de Peche, honey, fresh pineapple, lime and mint.
Pizza Craft Pizzeria is located at 330 Himmarshee St., Fort Lauderdale. For more information, visit pizzacraftpizzeria.com.
