Wood-Fired "Margherita" in Authentic Neapolitan Style

The restaurant's authentic Neapolitan pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven made by Stefano Ferrara of Naples. Dough made with natural yeast is slowly matured, then baked quickly at approximately 450°C (842°F) to create a fragrant exterior and chewy interior. A featured choice is the simple "Margherita," which highlights the quality of its ingredients. Fresh mozzarella from Yoshida Farm in Okayama brings a milky, juicy richness, balanced by pleasantly tart tomato sauce and fragrant basil. Authentic Neapolitan pizzas incorporating seasonal ingredients primarily from Okayama are served freshly baked.
