About Krescendo

    Pizza Napoletana requires a strict process and certain products only in the Campania region of Southern Italy.  A process known as "hand balling" creates a savory crust which is the foundation to true Pizza Artiginale (Artisan Pizza).  Nothing is added but the finest sea-salt, fresh water and a century of passion.  CAPUTO 00 flour, San Marzano D.O.P. tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella di Bufala and Extra Virgin Olive Oil of the highest quality are the typical products good enough to top a Krescendo Pizza.  Our APN certified pizza is lightly charred around the crust and soft and delicate in the center.

    Krescendo's 900 degree oven was designed by ACUNTO on Naples, Italy and shipped by sea... weighing over 2 tons.  These are the same ovens that you will find in the world famous Pizzeria Brandi, where Raffaele Esposito made the first Margherita for the Queen.  The intense heat is contained by ancient Santa Maria bricks and volcanic rock from Mt. Vesuvio, which are and underlay to the actual cooking chamber.

    I have been working and studying Pizza Napoletana in Naples with both the Caputo and Acunto families and I can tell you that in Naples, Pizza equals Art and Passion.

    What you will experience at Krescendo is centuries of passion, history and true love from Naples.
