The zodiac is full of personality—fiery, grounded, unpredictable, dramatic—and so is a really good pizza. Each sign has its own flavor, its own appetite, its own way of ordering for the table (or not sharing at all). And if there’s a crust that can match all that cosmic complexity, it’s one made with a living sourdough starter—pasta madre—fed daily, nurtured with intention, and just funky enough to keep things interesting. (At Berberè, that’s where every pizza begins: with a dough that’s alive, expressive, and constantly evolving. Just like you.)
So what does your astrological chart say about your ideal pie? From fiery Diavola to dreamy Capricciosa, here’s your sign in pizza form.
ARIES
Aries are bold, brash, and born to bring the heat. You barrel into situations like a wood-fired blaze, driven by pure instinct and a heroic dose of confidence. You start before you think, lead before you’re asked, and love like a wildfire with no evacuation plan. DIAVOLA’s spicy salame and chili oil match this maximal energy. Typically topped with tomato, mozzarella, thin rounds of hot-headed salame (often soppressata or ventricina), and a drizzle of chili oil or flakes, this pizza means business. “The devil’s pizza” originated in the south of Italy and rose to pan-Italian fame, and it was designed to wake up your taste buds and put your tongue in a headlock. It’s also most likely the infernal foremother of America’s beloved pepperoni pizza—only she doesn’t hold back on the fire. Fire signs crave adrenaline, and Diavola delivers with every bite: crisped edges, red-hot zing, and that glorious tingle of risk. Just don’t burn your tongue—or anyone who crosses you.
TAURUS
Sensualists of the zodiac, Taureans know that the best things in life are simple, slow-risen, and perfectly executed. Enter: the MARGHERITA. With luscious tomato, fresh basil, and melty mozzarella, this pizza is a weighted blanket in food form. Legend has it the Margherita was created in 1889 to honor Queen Margherita of Savoy, and its tricolore toppings (red, white, and green) are as proudly traditional as a Taurus in linen loungewear. Every ingredient is essential, and no embellishment is needed. It’s the kind of pizza you could eat every day and never get bored, which suits Taurus just fine—these creatures of comfort are happy to go back to the same spot, sit at the same table, and order the same thing. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But do drizzle it in olive oil. A Margherita—like you—proves that pleasure and consistency can, in fact, be the same thing.
GEMINI
Why choose one topping when you can have four? Geminis contain multitudes (and conflicting brunch plans), so QUATTRO STAGIONI—“Four Seasons”—is your pizza soulmate. Traditionally divided into quadrants, it stars mushrooms for autumn, artichokes for spring, prosciutto cotto for winter, and olives for summer—a full calendar year of flavors on one chaotic pie. Your ruling planet Mercury is the master of communication, so naturally your pizza comes with four distinct opinions. Just like you, it’s a little unpredictable, but somehow it works. Geminis need variety and stimulation like dough needs starter, and this pie delivers both: every bite is a new conversation. And while some pizzaioli now mix the toppings together, true Gemini form demands the quadrant, four-vibes approach. Call it inconsistent, call it high-maintenance—we call it Gemini core. Mood swings have never tasted so good.
CANCER
Cancers are nurturers by nature—soft-centered, loyal, and fueled by feeling. Which makes BURRATA AND ’NDUJA your cosmic comfort food. This pizza is a contradiction in the best way: soothing and spicy, creamy and combustible. Burrata, the tender pouch of stracciatella and cream, melts into the warm dough like a hug that lasts a little too long. ’Nduja, a spicy spreadable Calabrian salame, cuts through with heat and intensity—exactly the kind of emotional release a moon-ruled sign can get behind. Together, they form a balance between vulnerability and firepower, the domestic and the dramatic. This isn’t a pizza for multitasking. It’s the kind you eat with both hands, over a real plate, maybe in your oldest sweatshirt (in case the ‘nduja splatters), maybe while watching something you’ve already seen. Cancer, you’re not one for flash—but you show up fully, and you feel everything. And this pizza gets it.
LEO
Leos demand attention—and so does the BUFALA. This pizza is minimalist on the surface but lavish where it counts: glossy white cheese made from the milk of water buffalo, prized for its richness and photogenic sheen. Mozzarella di bufala from Campania is the undisputed diva of dairy, and Leos wouldn’t dare settle for less than a crown jewel. Add in tomato and golden crust, and you’ve got a pie practically begging for a red carpet. You’re ruled by the sun, Leo—center stage is your birthright—and this pizza was made to shine, not to share. Unlike other pies, the Bufala doesn’t need a dozen toppings to prove itself. Even with just three ingredients, it commands a room. When Leos aren’t performing, they’re still posing. And when Bufala isn’t hot out of the oven, she’s still making headlines. Neither one is trying to be iconic. They just are.
VIRGO
Crisp crust, perfect acidity, and not a topping out of place. MARINARA is the Virgo of pizzas: clean, classic, and deeply misunderstood. Invented in Naples in the 18th century, this is the original pizza—and not, as some wrongly assume, a lesser one. With just tomato, garlic, oregano, and olive oil, it requires balance and precision: one clove too many and the whole thing falls apart. You Virgos are perfectionists, and this is the minimalist challenge you were born for. (You know there’s no need to hide behind the theatrics of cheese.) Rather, you thrive on consistency, logic, and trust for ingredients that don’t need dressing up. A good tomato speaks for itself—and oregano just needs to stay in line. Fun fact: the pizza’s name isn’t about the sauce but the sailors (“marinai”) who craved it upon return to port. Fitting for a Virgo—always reliable, quietly heroic… and a little salty.
LIBRA
ORTOLANA (literally “the vegetable gardener’s pizza”) is your dream dinner: colorful, balanced, and committed to making everyone feel included. Garnished with an ever-evolving cast of roasted vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and sometimes even pumpkin or cherry tomatoes, it’s the ultimate ode to market-fresh equilibrium. You’re a visual creature, and Ortolana’s palette pops like a perfectly curated outfit. Everything in its place, every color intentional, every bite harmonious. You’re also diplomatic enough to share, but let’s be honest, you’re angling for the most aesthetic (read: best-topped) slice. While meat-lovers and spice-fiends squabble, you’re picking a pretty pizza that supports local agriculture. It’s light without being boring, elegant without trying too hard, and Libras are soft but strategic, diplomatic but opinionated. And you want a pizza that looks good, feels good, and leaves no one arguing. Mission accomplished.
SCORPIO
SALSICCIA E FRIARIELLI. Dark, intense, and not for beginners. Scorpio energy is all over this bitter-greens-and-sausage combo. A signature of Neapolitan tradition, it pairs crumbled pork sausage with friarielli—wild, slightly bitter turnip greens often mistaken for broccoli rabe. The flavor is bold, metallic, and earthy, with none of the sweetness or subtlety of milder pies. Scorpios, ruled by Pluto and Mars, carry that same magnetic depth: not always easy, but impossible to forget. This is the pizza you eat when you want something real, something that doesn’t pander. The kind of thing you crave in winter, when you need something with weight and sharp flavors speak loudest. Like a Scorpio, it asks for your full attention and gives something back only if you’re willing to go deep.
SAGITTARIUS
You’re a fire sign with mud on your boots and stars in your eyes, so naturally, your pizza is BOSCAIOLA—literally, “the woodsman.” Rustic and hearty, Boscaiola is traditionally topped with sausage and mushrooms, then enriched with cream, garlic, sometimes peas. In certain regions, you’ll find wild porcini, pancetta, or even a touch of truffle. Invented as a pasta sauce in central Italy and adapted to pizza in the mid-20th century, it’s as outdoorsy as you are. Sagittarians crave adventure and excess in equal measure, and this pizza delivers both: wildness and comfort, campfire smoke and candlelit dinner. It’s messy in all the right ways—just like your travel plans. It’s the kind of pie you refuel with after hiking all day; best eaten with your hands, in a place with no signal. This is a pizza for the long road and the big story.
CAPRICORN
No one respects structure more than a Capricorn, and the CALZONE is a self-contained success story: folded, sealed, and filled with heavy hitters. Legend traces its roots to 18th-century Naples, where it was considered a “walkable” version of pizza, perfect for workers with things to do and money to make (Capricorn energy to the tee). Capricorns are the zodiac’s CEOs, and the calzone? A venture built on vision and just the right amount of dough. You may come off as reserved or traditional, but inside, there’s molten ricotta, prosciutto cotto, tomato, maybe greens—a cozy, cheesy heart kept safely under wraps. You need infrastructure, and a well-made calzone is nothing if not foundational; after all, Capricorns don’t cut corners—unless it’s to fold them neatly in half. And if the calzone is your public-facing self, the MONTANARINA is your release valve (the Hyde to your Jekyll): all toppings on the outside, fried on a whim, devoured standing up. You’d never admit it, but every fortress needs a secret escape hatch.
AQUARIUS
Aquarians thrive on ideas that are ahead of their time—and so did the NAPOLI. Before the Margherita stole the limelight, this was the pizza of the people: humble, intense, and built to endure. Topped with crushed San Marzano tomatoes, anchovy fillets preserved in salt, brined capers, black Gaeta olives, and sometimes a sprinkle of oregano—Napoli was born from the practical brilliance of cucina povera. No mozzarella? No problem. In many original versions, it was left off entirely. Anchovies were key: cheap, shelf-stable, protein-rich. In short, it was food engineered for survival—and flavor. You, Aquarius, love a system that disrupts the norm for a better outcome. This pizza challenges your palate and expands it. While others settle for what’s expected, you gravitate toward the overlooked, the misunderstood, the radical. Bonus points when it’s also genius-level umami.
PISCES
Pisces, you’re a watercolor soul in a world of permanent markers, and no pizza captures your fluid, romantic nature better than the CAPRICCIOSA, which literally means “whimsical” or “capricious.” This maximalist Neapolitan classic is a tangle of flavor: tomato sauce, mozzarella, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, cooked ham, black olives—and depending on the region, maybe even a hard-boiled egg. Invented in Rome in the 1930s and made famous by a few renowned pizzerias, the pie was built around leftovers transformed into pizza poetry. You too have the gift of turning scraps into symphonies. Ruled by Neptune, planet of illusion and longing, you bring beauty to the messiest arrangements—and find meaning where others see nonsense. You love hard, dream big, and often forget where you put your phone. Capricciosa has the same vibe.
