A Welsh Favourite with an Italian Twist: The Llantrisant Leek & Bacon
At Welsh Italian Pizza Co., we love to honour the flavours of Wales, and the Llantrisant Leek & Bacon is our take on two of the most classic Welsh ingredients. Leeks and bacon are a match made in culinary heaven, and when paired with our signature Neapolitan-style pizza, the result is a dish that’s comforting, flavourful, and distinctly Welsh with a nod to Italy.
A Taste of Wales on a Pizza
The Llantrisant Leek & Bacon pizza features locally sourced Welsh leeks, known for their mild and sweet flavour, which are sautéed until tender to enhance their natural sweetness. This is paired with crispy bacon, adding a smoky, savoury element that complements the leeks perfectly.
Our finely chopped tomato base provides the foundation, while Fior di Latte mozzarella adds a creamy richness that ties the whole pizza together. The result is a pizza that’s both hearty and fresh, celebrating the simple yet powerful flavours of Welsh cuisine.
Inspired by Llantrisant’s History
Llantrisant, a town steeped in history and known for its medieval roots, serves as the inspiration behind this pizza. Just as the town combines old traditions with a modern edge, the Llantrisant Leek & Bacon brings together classic Welsh ingredients with a contemporary Italian twist.
The Neapolitan-style dough provides a light, airy base, with a crisp crust that contrasts beautifully with the tender leeks and crispy bacon. Each bite offers a balance of savoury, sweet, and creamy flavours, making this pizza a true celebration of Llantrisant’s heritage and the simplicity of local ingredients.
