Apparently, there's an Italian based association called Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN), whose purpose is to protect the integrity of pizza making from some 200 years ago when it began in Napoli, Italy. So what does this mean for us in Pasadena?
It means really good thin sliced pizza haha.
I tried the Pizza Carbonara which had a nice light crushed tomato sauce, fried egg, and pancetta. Sophy tried the special Pizza Spinaci which had spinich, mozarella, ricotta, prosciutto, and roasted almonds on top. What a strangely good combination.
On top of it, the pizzas are made in about 90 seconds in this wood fired pizza oven where one guy was rotating and cooking several pizzas at a time and at a frantic pace. Sitting at the "pizza bar" gave us a front row view of the cooking, and it probably added to the intrigue of this restaurant.
We also had an appetizer which had arugula and goat cheese wrapped with prosciutto in balsamic reduction. Finished dinner off with some Italian donut type things that were filled with nutella.
Can't wait to go again.
