What is the purpose of preparing pizzas if it is not done the authentic Neapolitan way?” asks Armando Pizzuti, the man behind The Villages’ newest Neapolitan Pizzeria –

Fratelli Pizzuti Pizza Etc.

Pizzuti is not paying lip service with that question. Fratelli Pizzuti , has set itself apart from every other pizzeria in The Villages by being the first to boast a Pompeii Oven in its kitchen.

The Pompeii Oven is named in honour of the wood-fired brick ovens that survived the volcanic ravages of Mount Vesuvius in ancient Pompeii and Naples to remain in wonderful shape, and able to start baking today with only minor renovations.In modern Italy, the basic Pompeii Oven design is the model for the brick ovens that are visible in pizzerias.

The oven is great for cooking pizza, roasts, focaccia and bread. It heats up quickly and is efficient at holding the high heats required for perfect cooking in as little as three minutes. In recent years, this concept has spread beyond the shores of Naples driven by those wanting to add that authentic Neapolitan taste to their diners’ experience.
 
Now, The Villages is home to the concept with the opening of Fratelli Pizzuti Pizza Etc.at 1558 Bella Cruz Dr In the Spanish Plain Shopping Center. Imported directly from Naples Italy, the 750° oven is in keeping with investor Armando Pizzuti’s own demand to ensure high quality pizzas within two to three minutes for all customers

“When you visit Fratelli Pizzuti you will get the true taste of Naples,” says Pizzuti. “Quality authentic Neapolitan Pizza at an affordable price is what we offer and we are just thrilled to have the oven in place to give the truest sense of the Neapolitan culture .”
