Fuoco Pizzeria Napoletana

Fuoco Pizzeria Napoletana is a modern, family-run Italian restaurant in Downtown Fullerton, specializing in Neapolitan-style pizzas, panini, and calzones. The name Fuoco, Italian for Fire, highlights a crucial element in making an authentic Pizza Napoletana.

The pizza-making process centers around a hand-made oven created by master artisan Stefano Ferrara, built using volcanic sand from Mt. Vesuvius, Santa Maria bricks from the Campania region of Italy, and Biscotto di Sorrento from Sorrento, Italy. This oven can handle extreme temperatures to produce a distinctive product, with pizzas made from a soft dough that is naturally leavened using very little yeast and lots of time.

Fuoco Pizzeria Napoletana imports its main ingredients from Italy, including extra fine double zero flour and San Marzano tomatoes, to create authentic flavors. The traditions and specifications of Neapolitan pizza-making, implemented over 200 years ago, are upheld at this restaurant, where a trained pizzaiolo combines ingredients with the oven to make an authentic product.

Signature dishes include the Marinara, Margherita, and Vespa pizzas, as well as the Prosciutto Panini and Caprese Panini. The menu also features insalate, antipasti, pizze, panini, and calzone, along with a selection of dolci, such as gelato and Nutella pizza.
