One thing that few people know is that There is not just one size of pinsa. We are used to considering shape only as an aesthetic aspect, often forgetting that, as with every gastronomic product, the format determines the way of enjoyment, and is therefore an essential aspect.
We are used to saying, and we confirm it, that the differences between pinsa and pizza they go far beyond the oval shape of the first and round shape of the second. But sometimes the format becomes a distinctive element: this is the case, for example, of our pinsa snack, perfect for quick consumption or as a dessert, snack or delicious aperitif.
In this article, however, we focus on an interesting phenomenon for the restaurant industry: the wallet pinsa. What it is, how to do it, why do it and how Di Marco has already thought about this type of proposal with a dedicated product, the Smile.
Pinsa wallet: what it is and why it is perfect for street food
The wallet pinsa is a variant of the pinsa that stands out for a compact and easily transportable format. In short, it is a pinsa already folded on itself and similar to a sandwich, which contains the filling inside and is designed to be consumed anywhere, even on the go. The format meets the needs of those looking for a quick but quality meal, thus resulting ideal for a lunch break, a snack, for an outdoor meal and for all those situations in which the consumer needs something practical but tasty.
The wallet pin is therefore a fully fledged piece in the universe of street food, where practicality and quality must necessarily coexist. Versatility is typical of pinsa, and this makes it suitable for a wide range of fillings, from savory to sweet, including vegan options or gluten free.
This type of product can be obtained in two ways: by manipulating a traditional pinsa base to give it a wallet shape or by purchasing a pre-formed base, specially designed to be stuffed, cooked, sold and consumed on the spot (or on the go). The idea of purchasing a pre-cooked base is obviously a winning one for street food, as it allows you to save time and guarantee uniformity in the final product.
