History has shown us that the southern town of Naples is home of the original pizza. However, a young Kuwaiti entrepreneur, and a certified pizzaiolo (pizza chef) for that matter, with a committed ambition to bringing the real Neapolitan tradition to Kuwait, has given the Neapolitan pizza a home right here in K-town. With any given visit to the cozy Pizzeria, you will find Amr Al Refai proudly standing by the traditional wood-fire oven, using a long wooden paddle to craftily place the pizza into the oven. Trust us, one visit will leave you drooling away at the rising aroma of melting mozzarella and smoked cheeses, and the brief wait for your order seems like eternity. We recommend the classic margherita, the mozzarella cheese bubbling ever so slightly and the crust artfully browned, or try the special Pizza of the Day, as the pizzaiolo will surely leave you impressed. With pizzas so light yet bursting with the robust flavor of Italian grown tomatoes, olive oil and aromatic basil, there’s never a rush to leave.
