Slices of Italy

Slices of Italy: Cured Meats and Italian Deli Shipped From Manhattan

Sliced thin and packed cold in our Manhattan kitchen, the slices of Italy at Kesté Pizza Go reach American homes overnight in ice. Roberto Caporuscio assembled the catalog around the same charcuterie and deli items he uses on the pizza menu, with each cured meat or sliced product picked by name from a producer in Italy. Mortadella, Prosciutto di Parma, salami, Soppressata and other Italian deli classics line up next to the cheese and dairy range for a complete board at home.

Mortadella, Salami and the Italian Charcuterie Tradition

Our slices of Italy selection follow the Italian charcuterie map: Mortadella imported from the Bologna heartland, Prosciutto di Parma aged in Emilia-Romagna, Sopressata cured in the south, spicy Calabrian salami from the regions where the chili matters as much as the pork. Each cured meat in this catalog carries the producer's name and the region of origin, the same way Caporuscio sources the meats that go on top of the Macellaio pizza in the restaurant.

The slicing of our Italian slices happens cold, in thin sheets that keep the texture of the meat. The vacuum-pack seals the slice the moment it leaves the blade, with no contact between batches. What you open at home reads exactly like the deli counter on Fulton Street, with the marbling of a Mortadella, the rosy salt of a Prosciutto and the dark fat of a Sopressata each visible on the surface.

Why Caporuscio Picks Each Slice by Hand

Featured among the top 25 Best Pizza Places in the US by Food and Wine, Caporuscio's restaurant has built its reputation on imported meats and cheeses that respect the regional Italian table. The selection of slices in our catalog follows the same audit: every producer is visited at least once, every cure is tasted, every slice has to pass the in-house bar before it joins the shipment. The Italian slices range carries that craft from the deli counter to your American kitchen.

Our Italian slices pair naturally with our meat and cheese selection for a charcuterie board at home, or with a chilled glass of wine for an aperitivo before dinner. New York Magazine has acclaimed Caporuscio's pizza “#1 in New York”, and the same kitchen that earned the title sets the bar for every slice that leaves the shop.

Slices of Italy Shipped Frozen for Maximum Freshness

Each tray of Italian slices is wrapped cold, sealed in its individual pack and shipped overnight in ice to your address. The frozen format here only pauses the freshness of a slice that left our kitchen the same day, never a way to mask age. Cured meats keep their bite, the fat keeps its color, the slice keeps its thinness. Pair your shipment with our entire pizza range for a complete Italian dinner under one parcel. Open the pack at home, let it rest for the time the package states, and the texture comes back exactly as Caporuscio plates it for guests at the pizzeria.

What separates this Italian slice range from supermarket alternatives is the route. Every cure is traced to a producer in Italy and chosen by Caporuscio personally, never picked from a generic catalog. The same discipline runs across our Frozen Italian Specialties, where olive oils, sauces and pantry items follow the same regional logic that defines this catalog.

The best slices of Italy belong with the cheese, the pizza and the dairy in one parcel, joining our gluten free pizzas in the same shipment for a celiac-safe table. Each slice ships in ice from our Manhattan kitchen on Fulton Street, ready for the charcuterie board or for the topping of a sandwich the same way regulars assemble a meal in our pizzeria.
