Neapolitan pizza got its start in the late 1600s in Naples Italy as a simple, affordable food for the working class. Our pizza traces its roots back 200 years to the island of Ischia, just off the coast of Naples. We use the same yeast culture in our dough that residents of Ischia used to make their pizza and bread for centuries. We acquired this special yeast 25 years ago, and it remains the key element in our recipe.
