THE STORY

A PASSION FOR PIZZA

It all started with a simple dream: to bring authentic Neapolitan pizza to Forest Hills. After years of traveling through Italy, studying under master pizzaiolos, and perfecting our craft, we opened our doors in 2024.

Every pizza we make honors the centuries-old tradition of Naples. We use only the finest ingredients, imported directly from Italy, and our dough is made fresh daily using a recipe that's been passed down through generations.

THE CRAFT

Our wood-fired oven, imported from Naples and reaching temperatures of 900°F, creates that perfect char and leopard-spotted crust that defines authentic Neapolitan pizza.

Each pizza is fired for exactly 90 seconds. Not a second more, not a second less. This precision, combined with our 24-hour fermented dough, creates a light, airy crust with a perfectly chewy texture.
