From Naples to Mumbai
The Vincenzo Capuano Story
A pizza chef from Naples, a third-generation legacy, and a contemporary vision that has changed how the world eats Neapolitan pizza. This is the story behind Vincenzo Capuano Mumbai.
A Third-Generation Pizza Legacy
Tradition, Reimagined
Vincenzo Capuano grew up around family ovens in Naples and learned pizza-making across three generations. He later developed his own contemporary Neapolitan style with lighter dough and a taller crust.
His hallmark is the high-hydration dough fermented for up to 30+ hours, producing the signature Nuvola crust - a cornicione so light, airy, and digestible that it changed what people expect from Neapolitan pizza. This is not tradition repeated. It is tradition evolved.

Naples Heritage
Contemporary Neapolitan Pizza
"Contemporary Pizza Is Not Just a Style, It Is a Philosophy."
Contemporary Neapolitan pizza differs from the traditional style because of its taller crust, high-hydration dough, and long fermentation. Vincenzo Capuano is known globally for this style.
What Makes It Different
The Capuano Craft
Nuvola Super Flour
A specialised flour blend fermented for up to 30+ hours. The result is a dough structure that is incredibly soft, airy, and light on the stomach.
The Golden Scissors
Cutting with a wheel crushes the alveoli. We use golden scissors to gently slice each pizza, preserving the cloud-like cornicione texture.
Premium Italian Ingredients
San Marzano tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella, Caputo flour, and quality toppings. Every ingredient is chosen for flavour.
"Pizza is heritage, technique, and joy."
