Local Cheese for an Exceptional Pizza
At ZIBO!, every pizza is a celebration of Quebec’s local flavors. We rely on fresh, local cheeses — many from Saputo, a proudly Quebec-based producer — such as:
• Fior di latte
• Mozzarella
• Smoked Gouda
• Goat cheese
• Creamy Feta
These cheeses are carefully selected for their rich texture and unique taste, pairing perfectly with grilled vegetables, flavorful meats, and sweet touches like figs or spiced honey.

Tips for Chef-Worthy Homemade Pizza
A very hot oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (or more) for at least 30 minutes. The hotter the oven, the crispier the crust.
Well-rested dough
Whether it’s sourdough or classic dough, letting it rest for several hours ensures a light, airy texture. Pro tip: make it the night before!
Toppings in moderation
Too much sauce or cheese can weigh down the dough. Use sparingly for even cooking and a crisp base.
Cook on stone
Invest in a pizza stone or preheated steel plate. In summer, use a BBQ stone – perfect for impressing guests on the patio.
Add a fresh finish
Top with fresh basil, arugula, shaved parmesan, or a drizzle of olive oil after baking. It’s the key difference between a good pizza and a truly unforgettable one.
Best Food & Drink Pairings for the Perfect Pizza
Whether you’re going with a tomato-based pizza or a white one, your drink pairing makes all the difference. Tomato-sauce pizzas go beautifully with light, fruity red wines like Chianti, Nebbiolo, or Montepulciano, which complement the tomato’s acidity without overpowering the flavors. On the other hand, creamy, cheesy, or veggie-based white pizzas pair best with bright white wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, or unoaked Chardonnay, balancing richness with freshness.
As for cocktails, a Spritz or Negroni enhances classic Italian flavors, while a lemon-basil mocktail or homemade sparkling lemonade makes for a perfect alcohol-free option that still brings freshness and complexity.
