"True Neapolitan pizza is baked around 900 degrees, in a wood fired oven (no gas) for 90 seconds or less. The pizza should be soft and elastic with a fragrant crust. The simple sauce, made from imported Italian tomatoes grown in the fertile soil of Mount Vesuvius, retain a sweet, bright, and vibrant flavor," the restaurant said in a statement.
The restaurant will have two wood-fired ovens imported from Italy.
