🔥 The Art of Fire-Baked Pizza & Panuozzo

At Fire & Folk, we honor the tradition of authentic Neapolitan pizza, a time-honored craft where simple ingredients meet fire and patience. Our carefully crafted and fermented dough, inspired by the classic poolish method, results in a crust that’s both light and flavorful.

The Neapolitan Pizza Experience

Neapolitan pizza is known for its delicate balance of textures—a soft and tender interior with a slight crunch on the edges. The airy crust, blistered by intense heat, develops a smoky aroma and a charred kiss, giving it a complexity that can’t be replicated in a conventional oven. Each pizza is stretched by hand, topped with fresh ingredients, and baked at over 800°F in our wood-fired oven, ensuring a perfect balance of chew and crispness.

What is Panuozzo?

Born from the same dough, panuozzo is the Neapolitan take on a sandwich—a fire-baked bread that puffs up like a pizza but is sliced open and filled with delicious ingredients. The high heat of the wood-fired oven gives it a light, crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender, making it the perfect vessel for smoky meats, fresh greens, creamy cheeses, and vibrant sauces. It’s a sandwich, but elevated.

Why Wood-Fired?

There’s a reason wood-fired ovens have been used for centuries. The intense, even heat creates flavors and textures that no other method can match. The flames lock in moisture while caramelizing the crust, creating a perfect bite—whether it’s pizza or panuozzo. It’s not just cooking; it’s an art form, and it’s the soul of what we do at Fire & Folk.
