At Vecchia, we are passionate about pizza. There are two things that make a pizza great: fresh ingredients and the right oven. We use only the very best, freshest ingredients sourced directly from Italy whenever possible. We use San Marzano tomatoes for our sauce. We use fresh dough made in-house daily. And we use authentic Italian toppings. You’re not going to find pineapples or buffalo chicken on our pizzas. If they can't grow it in Italy, we probably won’t consider using it. Once the pizza is assembled, it’s placed in one of our three brick ovens that we had hand made in Italy and shipped directly to the restaurant by Acunto Brick Ovens. Each Acunto oven is made by hand and the family secrets for assembly have been passed down for four generations. The bricks are made from soil found at Mount Vesuvius, which makes them porous and allows them to draw the moisture out of the dough for a crispier final product. Each oven is kept at precisely 900 degrees, which allows us to cook a pizza in about 90 seconds. less
