Spring is all about celebrating fresh, vibrant flavours, and Chef Dario De Angeli has truly outdone himself. Indulge in wood-fired authentic pizzas that embody the essence of Spring, from the delicate crunch of the crust to the explosion of flavours from the carefully selected toppings. Whether you’re savouring the Porchetta pizza with its spicy pork loin or delighting in the 400 Degrees signature pizza adorned with Parma ham and truffles, each bite is a testament to the season’s bounty.
Small Plates, Big Delights
And for those who prefer a variety of flavours, the small plates at 400 Degrees are a symphony of tastes that make for a tantalizing dining experience.
