Tartufo Ristorante’s Neapolitan-inspired pizzas are crafted using Italian “00” flour and undergo a 24 to 48-hour fermentation process, allowing the dough to develop structure, flavor, and digestibility. The dough is handled gently to preserve air pockets, resulting in a light and airy crust.Each pizza is baked in a high-temperature stone oven at around 450 to 500°C for 60 to 90 seconds, producing a crust that is lightly charred with a soft center.
