Neapolitan Pizza: A Tradition We Bring to Arcachon
Neapolitan Pizza: A Tradition We Bring to Arcachon
Neapolitan pizza is more than a recipe – it is an art, a craft recognized by UNESCO as part of Italy’s cultural heritage.
At Pizza Nofa, located in front of the Arcachon train station, we draw inspiration from this rich tradition to create a 48-hour slow-fermented dough, airy, light, and full of flavor.
Our family is originally from Rome, but we share the same passion as Neapolitan pizzaioli: respect for the product, careful dough preparation, and a sincere love for authentic Italian cuisine.
What Defines a True Neapolitan Pizza?
A long-fermented dough
Soft, hydrated, hand-shaped, and allowed to rest for many hours.
At Pizza Nofa: minimum 48 hours, to develop flavor and digestibility.
The iconic cornicione
The raised edge of the pizza must be:
• airy
• lightly browned
• soft inside
• slightly crisp outside
A true hallmark of Neapolitan pizza.
A fast, high-heat bake
Traditionally baked at high temperature to preserve softness, aroma, and texture.
Simple ingredients of exceptional quality
• Italian tomato
• mozzarella fior di latte or buffalo mozzarella
• fresh basil
• real olive oil
Quality over quantity. Always.
Our Dough Inspired by Neapolitan Tradition
Every day, our team prepares dough on site:
- hand shaping
- long fermentation
- precise hydration
- lively baking
This method creates a light, delicate, flavorful pizza, faithful to the Neapolitan spirit while keeping our own identity.
