NEAPOLITAN PIZZA SERVED RIGHT HERE

This has been a long time coming Hitchin, a burning desire of Tom's for a few years now, the first lockdown gave him the time to start making pizzas again, forced us to think outside of our comfortable pub box and gave us the impetus we needed to get this off the ground, a BBL helped too!

Three lockdowns and nearly a year later,  DIRTY DOUGH PIZZA CO is born, whoop! We've been serving takeaway trial nights for the last couple of months now and cannot wait to operate in-house to a buzzing full garden.

WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT NEAPOLITAN PIZZA?

Neapolitan pizza, or pizza Napoletana, is a type of pizza that originated in Naples, Italy. This style of pizza is prepared with simple and fresh ingredients: a basic dough, raw tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and olive oil. No fancy toppings are allowed...  it's a sacrilege to ask an Italian for pineapple on a pizza! ;) One of its defining characteristics is that there is often more sauce than cheese. This leaves the middle of the pie wet or soggy and not conducive to being served by the slice, so don't moan about a sloppy centre, just FOLD IT UP & ENJOY!

FRESH IS BEST... All of the dough is made here onsite the day before service, our ingredients our top quality and responsibly sourced, think San Marzano tomatoes found only in the foothills of Mount Vesuvius, fior di latte mozzarella made from fresh whole cow’s milk which has a sweet, light, and delicate flavor, Nduja, a soft, spreadable fermented pork salume, spiked with fiery Calabrian chilies +++ more.

We offer seasonal specials, local business collabs, vegan, gluten free and kids pizzas.
