Viva Napoli: Authentic Neapolitan Pizza in Midtown TO






Tucked away in a cozy storefront on Mt Pleasant, in the quiet midtown Toronto neighbourhood of Davisville, is Viva Napoli, one of the latest contributions to the city's burgeoning pizza-scene, serving authentic Neapoletana-style pizzas to an ever-faithful public. Those familiar with Italy's 'autentica' pizza will recognize Viva Napoli’s faithful adherence to the "pies" traditional edicts: using high-quality Italian flour, San Marzano D.O.P tomato sauce, fresh Fior di latte cheese and cooking their ultra-thin crusts at high temperatures for little time in their prized wood-burning oven. Driven by a desire to make the best Neapolitan pizza in the city, owner Guistino Iorio had a 7,500-pound Neapolitan wood-fired pizza oven imported from Naples and even tore down a wall to get the beast inside. With over 25 pizzas to choose from, Viva Napoli is midtown's Italian connection to delicious 'Autentica Pizza Napoletana.'
