The Wisconsin Union team will open a new dining option, called Pedone Pinsa, at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery (also known as the Discovery Building) on Aug. 26. The restaurant will feature a menu built around Wisconsin-made, Roman-style pinsa pizza. Originally developed in Rome, Italy, the flatbread-style crust, called pinsa, features a light texture and crisp exterior. The nonprofit Wisconsin Union operates more than 30 cafes, markets and restaurants on campus.
