so if you are looking for a fast food type of place then you might find a lot of those around but certainly not us.

We strive to serve you the “Italian food” without compromise so we do not serve any ketchup or mayonaise or jalapegnos with our pizzas.

Our pizzas have a very thin and slightly burnt crust (as it is done in Rome) this is a sign of Wood-Fired oven baking, to us Italians this is the best part of the Pizza.

Our dough is freshly made daily according to our own recipe, involving a special blend of hard and soft flour imported directly from Naples (south Italy) which produces this unique combination of crunchiness and softness. Simply tasteful and delicious.

Our pizzas are laid by hand with the traditional wood rolling pin on our marble preparation tables right in front of our customers.

We use the best Italian ingredients available such as actual “Parmiggiano Reggiano” (from Reggio Emilia, Italy) we use the rarest quality of mozzarella such as the Buffalo mozzarella kept in its own milk, freshly imported from Caserta (south of Italy) we use “Pecorino Romano” and “Provola Piccante” and “Scamorza affumicata” and “Gorgonzola cheese”... products most of you have not even heard of….products that these days are very, very hard to find in any restaurant meal.

We bake our Pizza toppings in our wood-fired oven, Red and Yellow peppers, zucchini, eggplants, potatoes…all is freshly baked daily and the aroma is just amazing…we do not use any sort of frozen or ready made toppings.

At 800PIZZA we aim at keeping the ancient traditions alive so that you can appreciate the flavor of the traditional & authentic Italian pizza…you’ll be the judge… Buon appetito.

Healthy Pizza

According to the 2010 data available on the WHO website, in the USA 44.2% of the male population over 15 years of age is obese while in Italy, obesity is at 14.4%!

In Italy we eat a lot of pizzas! So how is this possible?

Because in a Traditional and authentic Italian pizza health and nutrition are within the fresh and natural ingredients it is made of:

The tomato sauce we use (as opposed to tomato surrogate with colorants and preservatives) comes from Italian plum tomatoes reach in healthy antioxidants such as beta-carotene and lycopene which enhance immunity and protect against toxins.

The flour we use is made in Naples, Italy, exclusively for 800PIZZA and it is a special blend of hard, soft and whole wheat allowing a longer and more stable release of energy after consumption

Our fresh dough has no sugar, butter or fat of any sort added to it.

In 2008 the European Union granted to Mozzarella di Bufala Campana a Protected Geographical Status with the “P.D.O.” indicator; our buffalo mozzarella (as opposed to commercial cheese made from powder milk or cheese production leftovers) is indeed P.D.O. and it is flown in fresh, every week, from Caserta, Italy, this is naturally rich in calcium and protein, high in live lactic ferments, vitamins and mineral salt content.

The Extra Virgin Olive Oil we use (as opposed to vegetable oil or other transfat reach greasing agents) is also certified as P.D.O. and cold extracted in Umbria, Italy, from Moraiolo olives, this oil is reach in vitamin E as well as very healthy antioxidants such as Polyphenols.

Fresh basil leaves (as opposed to artificial flavorings and spices) are rich in fibers and beta-carotene a great ally in the fight against free radicals.

Our pizzas are baked in a custom built Italian wood burning stone oven which provides the pizza with a wholesome aroma that cannot be achieved with other types of cooking; it creates a unique and wonderful smokey flavor through the open flame of the burning olive wood (which we also import from Italy), the intense heat it generates and the direct contact between the dough and the stones (as opposed to pan fried pizza).

Not only a truly healthy pizza untouched by the global consumerism but a really flavorful one true to my country culinary heritage.
