What makes Mozza's pizzas authentic?
Authentic Italian pizza is all about simplicity, quality ingredients, and traditional methods. Originating in Naples, it features a light, airy dough made with just flour, water, yeast, and salt. Then topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and herbs. The pizzas are then baked an extremely hot brick oven, which gives us a crispy, slightly charred crust. While Neapolitan pizza is the most famous, Italy’s regions each have their own unique styles. Such as the thin, crispy Roman pizza or the thick, spongy Sicilian version. At its core, authentic Italian pizza is a celebration of fresh, high-quality ingredients. Most importantly the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones.
When you think of authentic Italian pizza, what comes to mind? The crispy, slightly charred crust, the rich San Marzano tomato sauce, and the creamy taste cheese. But what truly makes Italian pizza unique and elevates it from everyday pizza to a culinary masterpiece is the brick oven.
Traditional brick oven pizza
A brick oven is a traditional oven made from brick, stone, or clay. It was designed to cook food at high, consistent temperatures. Typically, brick ovens are used for cooking pizzas, but they’re also great for baking bread. As well as roasting vegetables, and even cooking whole meats. The key characteristic that sets brick oven pizzas apart is the intense heat. It is usually ranging from 800°F to 900°F (430°C to 480°C), which creates a crust that's crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside.
At Mozza, we believe that the secret to creating the perfect pizza lies not just in the ingredients, but in the traditional brick oven pizza baking technique.
