Authentic Pizza, Pinsa & Breaded Products
Authentic Italian Pizza for Food Service and Retail, built with our Pizzaiolo Master Chef Stefano
It all starts with the dough
The 00 flours we use made from wheat are uniquely smooth and slightly higher in natural sugars, allowing the yeast to release the perfect amount of air into the dough during the proofing and baking process.
Speaking of yeast, we only use the very finest of Italian yeast, some starting with cultures older than us. The very specifics of the yeast is a closely guarded secret, but when you taste a Buon Forno pizza, you’ll find out why we keep it to ourselves
Our doughs are meticulously prepared using; flours that are always stone-milled with Italy’s purest waters, selected yeasts, Sicilian sea salt and extra virgin olive oil. The fermentation process is slow, in fact extremely slow!
Always Handcrafted
These pizzas are processed using genuine artisan methods: the stretching of the dough and the topping of the pizzas are both carried out exclusively by hand by expert pizza chefs, mostly by women, considered to have smaller and more agile hands.
This is the only way of ensuring that the molecular structure of the dough does not undergo the trauma of an automated production process, thus enabling us to guarantee extremely high-quality standards.
Important also to note that our pizzas are always baked in a stone oven with free flames.

The Pinsa-Product Innovation
This product is hugely popular all around Italy but currently not available in Uk and reland
Strictly hand stretched, in fact, the name pinsa comes from the Italian ‘pinsare’, which means to pinch.
It’s different from pizza because it is
- Made from a blend of wheat, rice, and soy flours.
- Lighter — the dough features a high percentage of water.
- Easier to digest thanks to slow proving and the air trapped in the dough when it is worked by hand.
- Unique in consistency: crispy outside and soft inside.
Pinsa is an ideal crust for gourmet savoury recipes but also as a dessert, it’s perfect for dinner, as a delicious starter. a finger food aperitif, and also as straight forward tasty bread

The dough undergoes a long fermentation in trays for over 24 hours-just like in the family’s old bakery.

The bases are then baked in stone ovens to preserve all the aromas and flavors of freshly baked bread.
