Enjoy Tuscan Italian Pizza
Illuminaté Restorante is serving Tuscan-style pizza boasting Chef Roland’s penchant for West Coast ingredients and a little extra flair and even do pizza takeout. Pick-up your pizzas on the way home for a grateful spouse and a deserved evening of relaxation.
We have four fresh and modern takes on the Italian classic. Try the Illuminaté Margharita, the Salmone, the Bolognese and the Pollo Aioli.
- The Pollo Aioli – a creation of thin crust, brushed with olive oil and garlic, with oyster, shitake and portobellini mushrooms and roasted organic chicken, ultimately topped with Santa Lucia mozzarella.
- The Illuminaté Margherita – traditional Italian-style pizza believed to be named after the beloved Italian Queen Margherita, who favoured this pizza for its tricolours that matched the Italian flag: red, white and green.
- The Salmone – the ultimate West Coast pizza experience exclusive to the Illuminate Restoranté, featuring fresh, local and sustainable ingredients: smoked sockeye salmon, pesto aioli, onions, capers and crème fraiche.
- The Bolognese (Ball-oh-nayz) – offers the subtle flavour explosion of traditional Bolognese sauce made specially in-house, with caramelized onions and grilled artichokes.
Whole, real ingredients are the key to our pizza’s taste and form. With special Italian flour – non-gmo, double “O” and organic – every pizza here has the right foundation for its special combination of toppings. Tuscan-style pizza is a thin crust pizza, allowing the connoisseur to appreciate the fresh toppings as well as a crisp crust and chewy middle.
Chef Roland’s Tuscan Italian pizza is baked alongside a menu of traditional and contemporary favourites. Visit and indulge; taste the difference quality makes at Illuminaté Restorante.
