Traditional Pizza Recipes

The regional styles baked as their home countries make them — no invented combinations, just the dough, sauce and toppings a Neapolitan or New York pizzeria would recognize.

Italian classics

72-hour cold-ferment Neapolitan
NeapolitanHard

72-hour cold-ferment Neapolitan
