Jan 2015 Menu (Recovered)

Originally developed in Naples, Italy over three centuries ago, the pizza napoletana
is a culinary craft imbued with history, methodology and discipline. The dough is
made from ‘00’ flour, water, sea salt and natural leavening (yeast or madre).
Slowly leavened and hand rolled by the pizzaiolo, the pizza cooks in a wood-fired
oven at nine hundred degrees for about ninety seconds. The pizza is lightly topped
and often sports a leopard-like char. The Pizza Margherita— tomato, basil, fresh
mozzarella, sea salt, e.v. olive oil, is the quintessential neapolitan pizza. Pizza Napoletana is best eaten immediately, fresh out the oven, and left uncut for the diner
to tear or cut at their own pace. Take-out is strongly discouraged as the box seriously compromises the texture and quality.
