Background

About Contro Corrente - Eccellenza Italiana

The Story

Contro Corrente was started by two friends who wanted to bring authentic Italian cooking to pizza lovers across Mallorca. Their line is simple: first there's love, then there's pizza. There are three branches: Palma on Plaça Major, plus Palmanova and Can Pastilla.

The Cuisine

Traditional Neapolitan pizza is the centre of it. The dough is made daily with live yeast and Caputo flour and given a 48-hour fermentation, then hand-stretched past 12 inches. They use San Marzano tomatoes and Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. The menu also covers other Italian dishes.

The Team

Founded by two friends, per the restaurant's own site.
