Pastel de Pizza combines the savory, crispy texture of a pastel with the familiar and comforting flavors of pizza. Expect a mix of savory, salty, and tangy notes.
The predominant flavor profile is driven by the combination of melted cheese (usually mozzarella), tangy tomato sauce, and pizza toppings like ham, pepperoni, olives, or vegetables. The deep-frying process contributes a rich, oily flavor and a satisfying crispy crust. The specific flavors can vary greatly depending on the filling ingredients.

Freshness is Key
Pastel de Pizza is best enjoyed fresh from the fryer, when the crust is at its crispiest and the filling is molten and flavorful. Avoid eating pastels that have been sitting out for too long.
