Vera pizza.
Napz attitude.

Traditional Neapolitan pizza —fresh dough and absolutely no shortcuts.

From Cava de’ Tirreni to Joburg

Born from family.
Trained in Naples.
Built in Rosebank.

Our family comes from Cava De’ Tirreni — a little town an hour from the loud, colourful, glorious chaos of Napoli. We grew up on Sunday sugo, grated Pecorino and arguments about who found the best mozzarella.

Now we make the most beloved dish on earth the only way it should be made: the Vera Pizza Napoletana. Trained in Naples by the AVPN, we’re proudly the first South African brand to carry the legacy.

Channeling the mischief of Pulcinella, we dance on the edge of tradition — slapping out pizza that gets you one bite closer to Naples.

— Enrico & Viviana Adinolfi

Trained by the AVPN in Naples

Learned in Naples.
Made in Rosebank.

Proud to be the first South African brand trained by the AVPN in Naples, Italy.

We travelled to the birthplace of Neapolitan pizza to learn the craft properly—from dough and fermentation to hand-stretching, ingredient selection and the perfect bake.

Then we brought that knowledge home to Johannesburg.
