Question 6

What is Neapolitan pizza?

Accepted Answer

Neapolitan pizza (pizza napoletana) originated in Naples, Italy, and is characterised by its soft dough, simple high-quality ingredients, and a distinct raised crust edge (cornicione).

Question 8

Why do you cut pizza with scissors?

Accepted Answer

We use golden scissors to cut our pizza because a standard wheel crushes the delicate air pockets (alveoli) in our high-hydration dough, destroying the cloud-like Nuvola crust texture. Scissors preserve the airy cornicione all the way to your plate.
