Modern Pizza
Simple and local ingredients, material and packaging fully reusable, biodegradable or recyclable, La Scarpetta is a concept in the era of time. Nothing better than a pizza to showcase fresh and tasty local products: Migneron de Charlevoix cheese, béchamel with Herbs salted from Bas-du-Fleuve, Gorria pepper from Saint-Hyacinthe, shrimp from Rivière-au-Renard and noble mushrooms are among the ingredients proudly featured on La Scarpetta’s menu.
“Our goal: to succeed over time in creating a menu designed exclusively from our Quebec products. As an entrepreneur and restaurateur, I find it important to do my part for the future of our planet by taking initiatives that will allow us, at the source, to reduce our ecological footprint and that of our customers! “Says Yannick Fortin.
The 11 basic recipes offered by La Scarpetta (all available on gluten-free dough!) Will be very diverse, ranging from Italian classics to original combinations and sometimes even daring, such as La Boréale (tomato sauce with veal and pepper from the dunes, duck confit, mozzarella), or La Gaspésienne (béchamel with Gaspé algae, Matane shrimp, clams, scallops, mozzarella). The kitchen is equipped with a professional TurboChef pizza oven, La Scarpetta promises perfectly cooked pizza in just … 90 seconds! Although La Scarpetta will classify itself as a fast food restaurant, it will still be possible to taste its pizza while seated, and even to accompany it with a good glass of wine, thanks to the selection of wines of private import offered on place for consumption in the common areas of Halles Cartier. The counter will also offer a variety of breakfast pizzas and frittatas, which will be available daily until 11 p.m.
