Bráz Elettrica
BRAZ – Tomato Sauce, Sliced Zucchini, Mozzarella Cheese, Garlic, Grana Padano
Tiramisu
Born from the brains behind Brazil’s best known Pizza, Bráz Elettrica has brought Brooklyn’s neo-Neapolitan style to São Paulo with a menu created by former Roberta’s “Pizza Guy” Anthony Falco.
Originally opened in 2017, additional locations sporting Italian ovens capable of maintaining consistent internal temperatures of 480 degrees Celsius (896 Fahrenheit) soon to follow, it is along Rua dos Pinheiros that guests can find Pies built on slowly fermented Dough with toppings ranging from Italian Tomatoes and Buffalo Mozzarella to local Linguica.
Built to be hip, a torrential downpour on Sunday afternoon finding two stories of concrete and graffiti largely empty, it was after perusing the options that Pizza, Dessert and Water were chosen, the entire order tallying under $10USD and ready in less than five minutes.
Using all natural Ingredients and cold fermentation, the latter yielding Crust that crackles to the tooth but offers a bit of stretch, it is on Bráz’s eponymous Pie that diners will find Sauce, Mozz, Garlic and Zucchini, a flavor not unlike Margherita coming through early but then dissipating with a hint of smoke.
Easily finishing a whole Pie, and holding off on another to save room for lunch after, it was into a small cup of Pudding that spoon was plunged next, the lack of Booze made up for by bitter Espresso that finds its foil in Cream and Cocoa as Ladyfingers are virtually nonexistent.
