Questions we get asked
Yes, we do gluten-free bases. All our pizzas are baked in the same oven, though, so we cannot guarantee there is no cross-contamination.
Almost any pizza on the board can be made vegan — the exception is the Maialona, our Italian meat lover. We keep dairy-free vegan cheese, so we can swap the mozzarella out on anything else.
We are mainly takeaway pizzerias, though we do have a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your pizza.
Authentic Italian pizza — thin crust, soft and crispy thanks to 72 hours of slow fermentation. We make one size only: 12 inches / 30 cm.
The dough rests for a minimum of 72 hours before it is baked. That slow maturation develops the flavour in the crust and makes the pizza lighter, and easier to digest than a dough proved for only a couple of hours.
Monday to Saturday the kitchen opens at 4:00pm; on Sunday we open at midday. In winter (May to October) we serve until 8:00pm, and until 8:30pm on Friday and Saturday. In summer (November to April) we serve until 8:30pm, and until 9:00pm on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is 12:00pm to 8:00pm.
