La Nostra Storia — Our Story

From Naples to the Triangle — The V Pizza Story

How a passion for authentic Neapolitan pizza, craft cocktails, and community brought V Pizza + Flask to Brier Creek and V Pizza + Side Door to Cary.

Where It All Began

Born from a Love of Authentic Italian Pizza Making

V Pizza was born from a simple belief: that great pizza starts with great ingredients, centuries-old technique, and a 900°F imported Italian brick oven. Inspired by the pizzerias of Naples — where pizza Napoletana has been perfected over generations — V Pizza set out to bring that same authenticity to the American South.

Every pizza begins with imported Italian “00” flour, San Marzano tomatoes from the volcanic soils of Mount Vesuvius, and fresh bufala mozzarella. The dough is hand-stretched — never rolled — and baked in approximately 90 seconds at 900°F, creating the signature charred leopard-spotted crust, pillowy center, and unmistakable wood-fired flavor that defines true Neapolitan pizza.

But V Pizza is more than just pizza. It’s a gathering place. A neighborhood anchor. A spot where families celebrate, friends reconnect, and the Triangle community comes together over shared plates and craft cocktails.

“We don’t just make pizza. We honor a tradition that’s been perfected over centuries in Naples.”

Imported Italian ’00’ flour, water, salt, and yeast — zero artificial ingredients. Our dough is made fresh every morning and cold-fermented for 48+ hours for maximum flavor and digestibility.

900°F Brick Ovens

Our ovens are imported directly from Italy and reach 900°F. Each pizza bakes in approximately 90 seconds, creating the signature char, crispy edges, and soft center of true Neapolitan pizza.

Authentic Ingredients-image

Authentic Ingredients

San Marzano tomatoes from Mount Vesuvius, bufala mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto di Parma — every ingredient is sourced for authenticity and quality.

Hand-Stretched, Never Rolled-image

Hand-Stretched, Never Rolled

Every pizza is hand-stretched by our trained pizza makers — never pressed or rolled by machine. This preserves the air pockets in the dough that create Neapolitan pizza’s signature light, airy crust.
