‘Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana

Is the FIRST and ONLY Pizzeria in the Valley to be honored with the prestigius and distinct Certification of True Authentic Neapolitan Pizza from the highly coveted VPN Association in Naples, using the guidelines set out by the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association and as set out by the Italian Government and the European Union. Our Master Pizzaiolo Matteo Schiavone from Italy serves Wood Fired Neapolitan Pizza with all premium ingredients imported from Napoli. This strong statement is backed by our commitment to specifically selected high quality ingredients, made in a traditional manner with old world equipment. For example, the pizzas are made with San Marzano Tomatoes D.O.P., which come from the base of Mount Vesuvius in Naples, with Buffalo Mozzarella brought in fresh daily, and dough made from 100% organic stone ground flour. These ingredients are baked quickly, 60/90 seconds in a 950 degree wood burning oven. Our oven was hand made in Naples by a 3rd generation pizza builder. We could have spent half as much on a prefabricated oven from California, but we had a 6000 lb oven shipped across the ocean because we believe that part of making a real Neapolitan Pizza is achieving the charred and blistered crust that you can’t get from a prefabricated oven, or even from a new high tech electric oven, and especially not from a gas oven.There is a reason why the European Union and the Vera Pizza Napoletana Association are all working really hard to preserve this piece of world culinary heritage.
