La Fornara
Authentic Italian Pizza
Since 1987, we've been crafting authentic Italian pizzas with the same passion and tradition that started in Amalfi — now served with pride in Naples, Campania. Every slice tells our story.
La Fornara Story
Since 1987
La Fornara was born in Amalfi, Italy, in 1987, when Giovanni Cakiqi built his first wood-fired oven with his own hands. From that single spark, he created a pizzeria dedicated to authentic Italian pizza, patience, and passion. Each dough was kneaded before sunrise, each flame tended with care, each crust baked to perfection. Soon, the scent of fresh pizza drifted through Amalfi's streets, drawing locals and travelers alike. What began as a small family bakery quickly became a local landmark — a gathering place for people who believed that great pizza isn't made fast, it's made right.
Tradition in Every Flame
At La Fornara, the fire that began in 1987 still burns in every oven. It's more than heat — it's the heartbeat of our craft, the living link between heritage and flavor. From Amalfi to Naples and across Campania, our philosophy remains unchanged: respect the dough, honor the ingredients, and let the flame shape perfection.
Each pizza begins with slow-fermented, hand-kneaded dough, San Marzano tomatoes, and fior di latte mozzarella, sourced from trusted Italian farms in Campania. The result is a crust that's light yet crisp, a balance of simplicity and depth. Every pizza emerges from the oven kissed by smoke and infused with character — a taste that captures the soul of Naples.
For us, pizza isn't just food; it's an Italian legacy carried forward with every flame, every family gathering, every shared moment around the table.
