About Us

Our History

Everything begin with a story...

Our started in 2007 with flour water and a wood fired oven

La Fiamma belongs to La Federazione Italiana Pizzaioli Nel Mondo. Our Pizza is made by following a strict discipline & set of rules set by La Federazione. Pizzerias that belong to this organisation must use wood-burning oven to a blistering 400 degrees. La Fiamma utilises the same age old techniques that Napolitan & Sicilian masters use to create a truly authentic pizza. The world’s finest San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and top-secret sour dough form the foundation of the pizza, but the true craft is in mastering the wood fired oven

Since then , every day, we refresh it with fresh flour & sterilised water. This is the simple recipe that keep our sourdough "alive".
