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".
Dario Damiani, born in Naples, has been working in kitchens since the age of 17, driven by a deep passion for cooking. Over time, he specialized in pizza, refining his craft and embracing the rich traditions of Italian cuisine.
In 2014, he arrived in Sydney, Australia, with the initial goal of gaining international experience. After just six months, he moved to the stunning Central Coast, where he quickly fell in love with the country. Within a year, he made the life-changing decision to commit to Australia, embracing the challenges and sacrifices necessary to call it home.
Through dedication, hard work, and perseverance, he learned English, overcame the difficulties of being far from his homeland, and worked tirelessly toward his dream: opening his own restaurant.
In 2015, he took over La Fiamma, determined to bring his vision of traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist. His goal has always been to offer an authentic culinary experience that blends heritage and innovation, creating a space where people can enjoy the true taste of Italy.
