Traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas are the focus of the menu and the kitchen boasts that “flour, water, salt, yeast, time, and tradition are at the heart of everything we do.” Combined with carefully selected ingredients and cooked at high temperatures in a wood-fired oven, the pizzas emerge soft, light and beautifully airy. And for the true Neapolitan experience, they suggest enjoying the pizza hot and folded. The wine list showcases predominantly organic and natural wines, with a focus on small producers from New Zealand and Australia, and are proud to pour local beer. Bistro-style starters and a few fresh-as-fresh mains add to the charm of this family-friendly place.
