About Our Truck
Italian Piaggio ApeCar
Our blue truck is historic and common in Europe but rare in the U.S. Pronounced “Ah-Pay” and derived from the Italian for “bee,” these three-wheeled scooters were developed in 1945.
They were designed to handle the small roads in Italy and used primarily for farming and light delivery. Their small body and attention-grabbing design makes them prime material for marketing uses across Europe.
About Our Pizza
True Neapolitan
Our pizza is Neapolitan style. Each one is a unique work of art that you can recognize by the blackened char spots on the crust from the blistering hot, wood burning oven.
The soft, foldable dough is considered “wet” by American standards and people in Naples typically eat it with a fork and knife. The pizza cooks in a wood-burning oven at 900° F and is ready in 90 seconds or less.
About Alessio
Our Master Pizzaiolo
Alessio grew up in the heart of Naples, Italy. His Nonna (Grandma) taught him how to make homemade pasta and fresh mozzarella. His aunt taught him how to make gelato at her Gelateria in south Italy.
One summer when he was 15-years-old, Alessio’s uncle needed extra help at his restaurant. He made his first pizza there and it was love at first sight.
To improve his craft and skills, he joined his maestro (mentor) Gaetano Esposito (the grandson of Raffaele Esposito, who created the Margherita Pizza for Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1889) at L’Arte della Pizza. He was honored to learn from Esposito, who had made pizza for Popes, Prime Ministers, and celebrities.
Alessio longed to share Neapolitan pizza with the world. He moved to America and started Vomero Consulting. He helped restaurateurs launch Restaurants in New York, California, Georgia, Texas, and Indiana.
He has appeared on TV shows, news segments, newspapers, blogs, and in National Pizza Magazine. In 2016, he was awarded the prestigious certificate of Neapolitan Pizzeria from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana AVPN.
