Whatever the question. The answer is pizza.
Like what’s the best use of handmade, slow-rising sourdough? Or what do an ‘nduja supplier from Spilinga and a tomato farmer from Vesuvio have in common? Or why do you now know the difference between a ricotta and a grana?
Now with a new menu that’s hotter than Napoli, packed with four fresh new pizzas and more good stuff — still changing with the seasons, while sticking to traditions that haven’t for decades.
