The Story Behind Vincenzo Capuano

5 minute read

By · 2022 World Pizza Champion

Behind every pizza at Vincenzo Capuano is a story that spans three generations, one city, and a lifetime of craft. This is not a restaurant that arrived with a concept. It arrived with a history.

"Pizza is heritage, technique, and joy." - Vincenzo Capuano

A Third-Generation Naples Pizza Legacy

Vincenzo Capuano grew up in Naples, in the 081 area code. His grandfather made pizza. His father made pizza. By the time Vincenzo started learning, he was part of a three-generation pizza family.

In Naples, pizza is local and personal. Every neighbourhood has its shops and its regulars. Vincenzo grew up inside that culture.

Breaking New Ground: The Contemporary Neapolitan Vision

Vincenzo did not only repeat tradition. He studied dough fermentation, flour, hydration, and oven heat. That work led to his lighter contemporary Neapolitan style.

  • High-hydration dough pushing beyond traditional Neapolitan ratios
  • up to 30+ hour cold fermentation for a complex, airy, digestible structure
  • Nuvola Super flour developed specifically for this contemporary style
  • Golden scissors as a technical and aesthetic statement

2022: World Pizza Champion

In 2022, Vincenzo Capuano was crowned World Pizza Champion. For a third-generation pizzaiolo from Naples, it recognised years of work on contemporary Neapolitan pizza.

The championship was an important moment. Since then, Vincenzo has continued to refine his dough, open restaurants, and bring his contemporary Neapolitan pizza style to Mumbai.

081 Napoli: The Pride Behind the Badge

The "081" badge refers to the Naples telephone area code. It keeps the brand tied to the city and pizza tradition where it started.

From Naples to Mumbai

After opening pizzerias across Europe, Vincenzo Capuano chose Mumbai for his Asian debut because the city respects good food and strong restaurant brands.

At 80 Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, the pizza brings together three generations of Naples heritage, world champion technique, and a lighter contemporary style. This is authentic Italian pizza in Mumbai.
