Our Story

Straight from Naples to Benalmádena

Marco Ferretti grew up in the pizzeria his grandfather ran in Naples' Quartieri Spagnoli. In 2010, he brought the family recipe to the Costa del Sol — the same 72-hour fermented dough, the same wood-fired oven built by hand from Neapolitan bricks.

Our oven burns at 450°C — hot enough to bake a pizza in 90 seconds. The dough blisters, the cheese bubbles, the base gets those charred leopard spots that mark a real Neapolitan pizza.

We use only 00 flour from Naples, San Marzano tomatoes from the slopes of Vesuvius, and buffalo mozzarella from Battipaglia. If it's not from Italy, we don't use it.

What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

"I've eaten pizza all over Italy and this one is the real deal. The base is perfectly thin, the dough is airy, the char is authentic. The diavola has proper heat. Can't wait to come back."

— Giulia B., Google
★★★★★

"No reservations, casual atmosphere, incredible food. The pasta carbonara was creamy and the guanciale was perfectly crispy. Best Italian on the Costa del Sol, hands down."

— Tom H., TripAdvisor
★★★★★

"Marco himself made our pizza right in front of us. The quattro formaggi is heaven — proper gorgonzola, not the mild stuff. The tiramisu for dessert was the perfect end. 10/10."

— Sophie L., TheFork
