Tony Gemignani and Black Hammer Brewing Company have teamed up to launch 'Tony’s Pizzaweizen,' an exclusive pairing of a craft beer and a specialty pizza available at Tony’s Pizza Napoletana and Capo’s in San Francisco. This collaboration blends the expertise of Gemignani, who is known as a world-renowned pizza maker, with the creativity of Black Hammer Brewing.
The beer is a hefeweizen and incorporates wheat from Tony’s proprietary pizza flour. The dough for the pizza also features the same beer, resulting in a unique mash-up of flavors. The pie is topped with carnitas, corn, mozzarella, and a variety of citrus-infused ingredients. This choice of toppings offers a fresh, tangy contrast to the beer’s citrus and tropical notes.
Tony’s Pizzaweizen is limited to 12 orders per day, and the exclusivity adds to its appeal.
