Pizza Rustica is an Italian Easter tradition that has been celebrated for centuries. This dish is a savory pie typically made with a pastry crust filled with various cheeses, cured meats, and eggs. The tradition of making and eating Pizza Rustica on Easter has been passed down from generation to generation, and it remains a popular custom in Italy and among Italian communities worldwide. This version was developed by Side Hustle Bread's Jim Serpico in collaboration with Anthony Lorino and reflects their love for New York Pizza. Instead of pastry dough, Jim and Anthony have developed a thin pizza crust and use cured meats reminiscent of Side Hustle Bread's Jimmy's All-Day Prosciutto Bread.
