Pala Romana — Roman-Style Pizza Arrives in Jayanagar
Long-fermented, board-baked, and impossibly light — our new Pala Romana pizzas join the wood-fired Neapolitan sourdough menu you already love. Same 100% vegetarian kitchen, a whole new bite.
Chef Riccardo Taught Us the Pala, Board by Board
Before Pala Romana ever reached our menu, Chef Riccardo — a Roman pizzaiolo trained in the pala tradition — spent time in our kitchen, working alongside our team to bring the technique to Jayanagar the right way.
Over an intensive hands-on residency, he walked our chefs through every stage: shaping the high-hydration dough by hand, reading the oven for the long, gentle bake the pala style demands, and finishing each pizza with the traditional scissor-cut serve.
"Pala isn't about speed. It's patience with the dough, and respect for how people eat together in Rome."
— Chef RiccardoWhat the Residency Covered
- • Hand-shaping and stretching high-hydration Roman-style dough
- • Managing a 72-hour cold fermentation schedule in our kitchen
- • Reading the wood-fired oven for pala's longer, gentler bake
- • Traditional scissor-cut, board-served presentation
- • Building an all-vegetarian Pala Romana topping lineup true to the style
Pala Romana, Done Properly
Roman pizza al taglio isn't just "pizza cut into rectangles" — it's a different dough, a different bake, a different way of eating together.
72-Hour Cold Ferment
A high-hydration sourdough left to slowly ferment for three days, giving the crumb its signature airy, open texture.
Long, Slow Bake
Baked longer and at a gentler heat than Neapolitan pizza, for a crisp, shatter-light base that holds up to generous toppings.
Sliced with Scissors, Roman-Style
Served on the pala (the wooden board it's named for) and cut tableside — the traditional way it's eaten across Rome.
100% Vegetarian, As Always
Every Pala Romana pizza is built from the same all-vegetarian pantry as the rest of our menu — no substitutions needed.
The Pala Romana Selection
A first look at the lineup — all vegetarian, all baked to order.
La Nonna
A comforting, home-style pizza inspired by grandmother's kitchen — slow-cooked tomato, mozzarella, and herbs.
Bosco
"Forest" style — a woodsy mix of mushrooms and earthy herbs over the long-fermented pala base.
Monti
"Mountains" style — hearty alpine cheeses and potato for a heavier, comforting bite.
Ortolano
A garden-forward mix of seasonal roasted vegetables layered over a crisp, airy base.
Curo di Roma
A Roman staple built around classic pecorino and black pepper flavors, true to the pala tradition.

Loved From the First Slice
*Placeholder quotes — swap in real reviews before publishing.
"I didn't expect a Roman-style base to taste this different from the Neapolitan pizzas here — the La Nonna is now my go-to."
"Ordered the Pala Romana for a weekend dinner and it was perfect for sharing across the table — light, crisp, not heavy at all."
"Loved that it's fully vegetarian without feeling like a compromise. The crust alone is worth the visit."

Pala Romana, Answered
What is Pala Romana pizza?
Pala Romana is a Roman style of pizza baked on a long wooden board (the "pala"). It uses a high-hydration, long-fermented dough that bakes into a light, airy crumb with a crisp base, and is traditionally cut into rectangles rather than served as a round pie.
How is it different from your Neapolitan sourdough pizza?
Both start with long-fermented sourdough, but Pala Romana uses a wetter dough, a longer and gentler bake, and an elongated shape — resulting in a lighter, crispier base than the softer, round Neapolitan pizzas we're known for.
Is Pala Romana pizza vegetarian?
Yes. Every pizza on our menu, including the full Pala Romana range, is 100% vegetarian, made in the same all-vegetarian kitchen as the rest of Eatinn' Love Trattoria.
Can I order Pala Romana pizza online?
Yes — the Pala Romana menu is available for online ordering through our ordering page, or you can dine in at our Jayanagar location.
Is Pala Romana pizza good for groups or sharing?
Very much so. Its rectangular, cut-and-share format is designed for the table — it works well for family dinners, small celebrations, and corporate lunches.
