What is Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza is a style of pizza created in Naples, Italy, and is traditionally made with simple, fresh ingredients and baked at 900 degrees for up to two minutes creating a light, fluffy crust with a crispy outside layer. FIAMME Pizzeria features a custom Morello Forni dome mosaic pizza oven imported from Italy. The pizza oven is seven feet in diameter with seven-inch-thick walls, weighing over 7,000 pounds. An electric rotating pizza stone is featured in the center of the oven, allowing for the most consistent and authentic product.
