Pizza Verace Tipo 00: The Flour for True Napoli-Style Pizza

Baking Instructions:
- Bake at an even higher temperature, around 450°C to 480°C, in a wood-fired or stone oven for 60-90 seconds. This quick baking process gives Napoli pizza its iconic puffed, airy crust and soft, chewy interior.
Neapolitan pizza is usually made without oil in the dough, resulting in a lighter and more delicate texture compared to other styles. It’s the perfect choice for direct consumption and enjoyed best when freshly made.
How Are They Different?
- Dough Composition: Classic pizzas can include olive oil, which adds richness to the dough, making them perfect for takeaway or delivery. Napoli-style pizzas using Pizza Verace flour omit oil, leading to a lighter, airier dough.
- Baking Temperature: Pizza Italiana is baked at lower temperatures (300°C-350°C) for a longer time (6-8 minutes), while Pizza Verace requires intense heat (450°C-480°C) and bakes in under 90 seconds. This difference gives Napoli pizzas their soft, chewy center and slightly charred, bubbly crust.
- Versatility: Classic pizzas are great for both direct consumption and takeaway, while Napoli-style pizzas are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, making them perfect for sit-down dining.
