In the making · The method
The pizza dough follows a leavening process that ensures softness and digestibility, essential elements for a quality pizza.
The wood-fired oven ensures a bake that gives the pizza the right exterior crispness while keeping the inside soft, a distinctive feature of Piazza Vecchia's offering.
Ingredients are carefully selected for quality, from the mozzarella fior di latte to the toppings, to ensure balance and authenticity in every dish.
