Napoletano Pizza – A True Taste of Naples
Step into the heart of Naples with every bite of our Napoletano Pizza—a timeless Italian classic that reflects the soul of southern Italy and embodies centuries of culinary tradition and craftsmanship. This pizza is far more than a delicious dish—it’s an immersive cultural experience, a proud tribute to the birthplace of pizza itself: Napoli, Italy. Every detail of our Napoletano Pizza is rooted in authenticity and prepared with intention, capturing the heritage, passion, and simplicity that define true Neapolitan cuisine.
Our story begins with the dough—the very foundation and heartbeat of any authentic Napoletano pizza. Crafted using only the finest ingredients, we blend premium “00” flour imported directly from Italy, with pure water, a touch of natural sea salt, and just the right amount of fresh yeast. But the secret lies in the time. We allow the dough to undergo a slow, natural fermentation process that lasts up to 48 hours. This gentle, extended proofing lets the gluten structure develop slowly and naturally, yielding a dough that is incredibly light, airy, and flavorful. The result is a crust that is tender and soft at the center, yet strong enough to hold its structure, with a signature puffed-up rim—the cornicione—that’s beautifully blistered and lightly charred from the intense heat of our stone oven.
This traditional baking process is key to achieving that hallmark Neapolitan texture—chewy, soft, and elastic, with charred bubbles that speak to the rustic authenticity of the pizza. We bake our pizzas in a high-temperature oven heated between 450–500°C (850–900°F), where they cook in just 60 to 90 seconds. This quick, intense burst of heat creates the perfect balance of crispy outer edge and soft, almost cloud-like interior.
At the core of the flavor is our vibrant tomato sauce, made from world-renowned San Marzano tomatoes—grown exclusively in the mineral-rich volcanic soil surrounding Mount Vesuvius. These tomatoes are naturally sweet, low in acidity, and bursting with rich, nuanced flavor. We crush them by hand to maintain their integrity and character, and season them only lightly with sea salt, allowing their natural brightness and depth to shine through. This sauce becomes the soul of the pizza—fresh, tangy, and beautifully balanced, it complements rather than overpowers the other elements.
Our mozzarella is just as carefully selected. We use either fresh fior di latte—a smooth, creamy cheese made from cow’s milk—or the more indulgent mozzarella di bufala, sourced from Italian water buffalo. Both varieties are revered for their soft, velvety texture and subtle richness. As they melt over the hot crust, they create a luscious, slightly elastic layer of gooey goodness that binds every bite together.
To finish, we add a touch of Italian elegance—a few hand-torn basil leaves for their aromatic freshness, and a drizzle of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil to elevate the overall flavor profile. These finishing touches are simple yet essential, enhancing the pizza’s aroma and honoring the Neapolitan philosophy of “less is more.”
The end result? A pizza that is as beautiful as it is delicious—light, fragrant, and full of character. Every bite is a perfect harmony of taste and texture: the smoky char of the crust, the brightness of the tomato sauce, the creamy melt of fresh mozzarella, and the herbal lift from basil and olive oil. It’s not just a meal—it’s a moment that connects you to the traditions of Naples, to its cobblestone streets, vibrant markets, and generations of pizzaiolos who have perfected this craft.
