what to expect

What is neapolitan pizza?

Let’s talk about Neapolitan Pizza. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill slice. Originating in Naples, this pizza features no-nonsense ingredients and a skilled prep method. If you haven't had it, you haven't lived.

Neapolitan pizza is all about crust perfection – thin in the middle, puffy and airy on the edges, with just the right amount of char. The high-quality ingredients and quick baking time ensure each bite is tender, pliable, and slightly crisp. It’s a pizza experience that’s both authentically Italian and universally delicious.

What do you mean by "Midwesternly Neapolitan" pizza?

It’s our special twist on tradition. We craft our pizzas with the authentic techniques of Neapolitan pizza-making—hand-stretched dough, fresh toppings, and a quick bake in a blazing wood-fired oven—then add a dash of Midwestern charm. That means our pizzas are shareable, the flavors are bold, and you’re likely to get a warm "How ya doin'?" when you walk through the door. It's pizza with Italian roots but raised right here in the Midwest.

Should I fold my slice?

For the love of pizza, please fold.

What about extra cheese?

While we certainly are big cheese fans around here but extra cheese can make for a slippery slice and a soggy experience.
