Pizzetta sfoglia cagliaritana · Cagliari
A palm-sized round of puff pastry topped with tomato, oregano and often capers or anchovy, sold from bakery counters all over Cagliari. The city's cheapest and most specific snack.
The pizzetta sfoglia is a post-war Cagliari invention, dated by local accounts to the 1950s. The story told in the city is that a pastry chef with puff pastry left over from croissant production cut it into small discs and dressed them with tomato sauce and capers from Selargius, and that the snack caught on because it was cheap, filling and portable in a city rebuilding after the 1943 bombing. It has stayed a bakery product rather than a pizzeria one, sold by the piece from counters across Villanova, Stampace and the Marina, eaten standing up at breakfast or as an afternoon fill.
