The Catalogue house of consumer brands, led by Founder and CEO Steve Salis, will open Pizza TBD within Ensemble Digital Kitchen, a digital dining hub serving menu favorites from several Catalogue restaurant brands in one convenient place. The meals are then delivered, according to a press release.

Pizza TBD and Ensemble are location in the Washington, D.C. area and will combine Roman-style pizza and Detroit-style pan pizza.

"We look forward to the launch of Pizza TBD, expanding the already wide range of options that our guests have to choose from when they order at Ensemble," Salis said in the press release. "One of our values is the spirit of discovery, we never want to stop experimenting, creating and elevating our items to make them better. We wanted to tap into our roots and provide an authentic pizza product using unique methods and natural ingredients to bring a premium experience at an approachable price point. This isn't your average slice."

Culinary Director Vincent Griffith and his team start the process with a mixture of Caputo Lievito yeast, all wheat Caputo flour, extra virgin olive oil, salt and water, which mixes for a two-and-a half-hour period, followed by a lamination process that allows the yeast to keep feeding completed with a 40-hour fermentation period to give the dough its signature airy texture and unique flavor.

The brand will launch with three specialty pizzas to be offered at Ensemble Digital Kitchen, including: Queen Margerita with fresh mozzarella and a house-made red sauce; Truffle Shuffle, featuring black truffle burrata and Pep Boi, a pepperoni pizza.
