What is cini? Slice guide

Unusual pies — what topping is that?

Spicy and uncommon pizzas. If you have to look twice, that is the point.

Squid-ink doughIt is not burnt. The crust is ink, chili, and lemon.

Gochujang + eggKorean chili paste, not marinara. The yolk is the tell.

NdujaCalabrian chili sausage spread — it melts into the cheese.

Elote (street corn)Mexican corn, chili, lime, crema — not a white pie.

Cini is usually CINI sauce (say chee-nee): a tangy peperoncini drizzle. Not cinnamon sugar and not a meat topping.

EVO is extra virgin olive oil, typically drizzled after baking. It is not the same as cini sauce.

Most large pizzas (14 inch) have 8 slices. Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's and Little Caesars all use that as the default.

A 7-inch pizza is a personal size (~18 cm), usually 4 slices — enough for one person.
