Deep knowledge of fermentation, dough hydration, stretching, and baking techniques.
Passion for Italian cuisine and respect for authentic ingredients and preparation methods.
Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced kitchen.

Our pizza speaks for itself. No story here. We make proper pizza. Once you try, you will understand! Our Roman pizza is thin & crispy. The edges are charred. This is how we bake it.
