If you've been searching for the best pizza in Oxford, you've probably noticed more people talking about Pinsa Romana.
At Bbuona Pinsa Bar Oxford, we specialise in authentic Roman-style pizza that offers something a little different from traditional pizza. While many people assume all pizza is the same, Pinsa has its own history, unique recipe and unmistakable texture.

What is Pinsa Romana?
Pinsa dates back to Ancient Rome and follows a completely different recipe from traditional pizza. The name comes from the Latin word Pinsere, meaning "to stretch", which explains its distinctive oval shape.
Unlike many pizza doughs, our Pinsa is made using a carefully balanced blend of flours and naturally fermented sourdough.
Every base is:
Slowly fermented for 48 hours
High hydration for a lighter texture
Crisp on the outside
Soft and airy inside
Easier to digest than many traditional pizzas
It's pizza but not as you know it.
Authentic Italian Ingredients
A great pizza starts with great ingredients.
At Bbuona, every Pinsa is topped using authentic Italian produce including:
Organic tomato sauce
Fior di Latte mozzarella
Buffalo mozzarella
Parma ham
Burrata
Italian sausage
Fresh basil
Cerignola olives from Puglia
Every ingredient has been chosen to celebrate genuine Italian flavours rather than overloading the pizza.
