About Margherita Modernist

The Margherita Modernist is our homage to the timeless Neapolitan pizza, reimagined through a contemporary lens. This pizza represents the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, honoring the classic recipe while introducing subtle refinements that elevate the experience.

The story begins with our dough, made from a blend of '00' Italian flour and Canadian wheat, fermented for 72 hours to develop complex flavors and the ideal structure. This extended fermentation creates a crust that's both light and digestible, with a distinctive flavor profile that serves as the perfect canvas for our premium toppings.

We source our San Marzano tomatoes from select farms at the base of Mount Vesuvius in Italy, where the volcanic soil imparts a distinctive sweetness and low acidity. These tomatoes are crushed by hand and seasoned simply with sea salt to let their natural flavors shine through. The fior di latte mozzarella, made fresh daily, melts into creamy pools across the pizza, while the fragrant basil is harvested from our own herb garden just moments before serving.

What truly sets our Margherita Modernist apart is the cooking process. Our wood-fired oven, built by master artisans from Naples, reaches temperatures of up to 850°F, allowing the pizza to cook in just 90 seconds. This intense heat creates the characteristic leopard-spotted crust with a light, airy interior and crisp exterior that pizza connoisseurs prize. The final touch is a drizzle of premium cold-pressed olive oil, selected for its fruity notes that complement the tomato's acidity.

As an Italian who's very picky about authentic pizza, I was skeptical. But this Margherita has the perfect balance of flavors and that incredible wood-fired crust that reminds me of Naples. Absolutely worth every penny!

The quality of ingredients really shines through in this pizza. The San Marzano tomatoes have such a rich flavor, and the crust has that perfect char and chew. My husband and I fight over the last slice every time!

Simple yet incredibly flavorful. The dough has that perfect balance of chew and crispness. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more basil, as I love the aromatic quality it brings. Will definitely order again!
