Piero's PizzaVino serves true Neapolitan Pizza . The dough is fairly soft, slightly chewy, thin, but crispy as well as a bit charred with a high border "cornicione" (which is "the frame" of the pizza).

The Neapolitan Pizza is all about "balance"!... the tomato must barely cover the dough and should not be precooked at all. The mozzarella fior di latte must be sliced in a few small pieces and should not be spread to cover the tomato. Additionally, they serve great antipasti, zuppe (soup) and salads for lunch. For dinner, try their Pia del Giorino (half chicken with roasted potatoes) or Tegamini (Pasta casseroles baked in their wood-fired oven).
