Vincenzo Capuano Brings World-Champion Neapolitan Pizza to Mumbai
Vincenzo Capuano is a pizza chef who opened a restaurant in Mumbai.
He comes from a family with a long pizza-making tradition.
The restaurant prepares its dough for more than 30 hours before baking it.
This helps make the crust light, airy and crispy.
Its famous Provola E Pepe pizza uses smoked cheese and fresh tomatoes.
The menu also includes pasta, salads, fries, desserts and a vegan pizza.
The reviewer liked several dishes, especially the crust and the pork platter.
However, the spicy Diavola and Chicken Tikka Pizza were judged not bold enough.
A meal for two costs ₹3,700 without alcohol.
Vincenzo Capuano has brought his family’s Neapolitan pizza tradition and Italian brigade to Mumbai.
The restaurant’s dough is cold-fermented for more than 30 hours in a temperature-controlled environment.
The World Champion Provola E Pepe features smoked provola, hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, pepper, roasted cherry tomatoes and basil.
