Years of making
A dough of our own.

My grandmother, Florenza, taught me how to make pan pizza when I was ten, in her kitchen in East Boston.

She never used a recipe. She did it all by eye.

Over the years, I trained with master pizzaiolo Massimiliano Saieva and professional bread baker Chef Chris French. Getting this dough right took about three years.

100% imported Italian flour
85% hydration
48–72 hour fermentation

The standard here is simple: make the best food we can, every day.
