What makes Neapolitan pizza so special?
At Ristorante STORIA Maxvorstadt, we bake our pizzas according to the traditional Pizza napoletana method: The dough rests for at least 48 hours at controlled temperature, then shaped by hand (never rolled!) and baked in a stone oven at 400°C in just 90 seconds.
The result? A pizza with a crispy base, airy-soft edge (Cornicione) and the characteristic slightly charred leopard spots. Topped with original San Marzano tomatoes DOP, buffalo mozzarella from Campania and the finest extra virgin olive oil – just as Neapolitan tradition prescribes.
Napoli Pizza Munich – What's Behind the Name?
Whether you call it 'Napoli Pizza', 'Pizza Napoli' or 'Neapolitan pizza' – it all refers to the same thing: a pizza prepared according to the centuries-old tradition from Naples (Italian: Napoli). At STORIA, we serve authentic Napoli pizza in Munich – with hand-shaped dough, original Italian ingredients and the unmistakable lightness that has made this style of pizza famous worldwide.
🍕 Pizza Napoletana – The Neapolitan Tradition
What does "Pizza napoletana" mean?
Pizza napoletana is a protected specialty from Naples (TSG – Traditional Speciality Guaranteed). It follows strict rules: dough fermentation of at least 8 hours, maximum 35cm diameter, baking at 430-480°C for 60-90 seconds, hand-shaped (never rolled).
Why 48 hours dough fermentation?
Long dough fermentation is the secret to quality: The dough becomes more digestible through slow fermentation, develops complex aromas and becomes airier. At STORIA, our pizza dough rests for at least 48 hours at controlled temperature.
The Stone Oven – Heart of the Pizzeria
A real stone oven reaches temperatures of over 400°C. At this heat, the pizza bakes in just 90 seconds: The base becomes crispy, the edge airy, and the typical leopard spots form.
San Marzano Tomatoes – Why?
San Marzano tomatoes DOP grow at the foot of Mount Vesuvius near Naples in volcanic soil. They are sweeter, less acidic and have fewer seeds than regular tomatoes. Essential for authentic Pizza napoletana.
