Originating from Naples, Italy, Neapolitan pizza is celebrated for its straightforward, premium ingredients and distinctive cooking methods. Here's what sets it apart:

Prepared with finely milled flour, the dough has a chewy texture with some crispiness. Its 24 to 48-hour fermentation ensures light and flavourful crust.

Only the freshest mozzarella is used, offering a rich texture and a subtle taste. This cheese creates a delectably gooey layer that melds with other toppings.

A sprinkle of fresh basil infuses the pizza with aromatic notes and a touch of green. No true Neapolitan pizza is complete without this burst of flavour.

A drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive enhances the overall taste and gives a glossy finish to the crust.
