This fast-casual pizza starts with an “authentic Neapolitan dough recipe dating back over 100 years.” It’s this authenticity, and its use of 1000-degree ovens that cook pies in two minutes, that the chain names as differentiators. Customers can choose from a menu of specialty pizzas and classic Neapolitan preparations, or create their own recipe by selecting dough and choosing from more than 40 sauces, cheeses, meats and vegetables.
