The Cuisine
Traditional Neapolitan pizza is the centre of it. The dough is made daily with live yeast and Caputo flour and given a 48-hour fermentation, then hand-stretched past 12 inches. They use San Marzano tomatoes and Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. The menu also covers other Italian dishes.

Founded by two friends, per the restaurant's own site.
