Nunzia stretches, Ciro drives

The dough room has stood in the same vico for thirty-nine years.

Dal 1987

Nunzia Iovine learned dough from her father behind the oven on the Granatello, three streets from the sea. The biga goes on at six on Monday morning, the balls are rolled on Wednesday and rest in the cold until they leave.

Ciro packs them with the tomatoes and cheese in the back room and drives the chilled van to the depot himself. If a box goes missing, it is his phone that rings.

L’edicola del forno

Which oven have you got?

A Neapolitan pizza wants a floor near 450 °C. Most kitchens can’t get there, so every kit comes with a card for your oven: how long to rest the dough, how hot, how many minutes. The builder writes yours.

First time the cornicione puffed up like the photos. The kids call Thursday pizza day now.

Ask Nunzia

What people ask Nunzia when they collect

How long does the dough keep?

Three days in the fridge from the day it arrives, in its sealed tray. Take the balls out two hours before you stretch them so they relax.

Can I bake in a normal kitchen oven?

Yes. Put a steel or a thick stone on the top shelf, heat it to the top of the dial for 45 minutes, and follow the home-oven card in your box: five to six minutes, grill on for the last one.

What exactly is in a kit box?

Four 250 g dough balls, a jar of peeled plum tomatoes, fior di latte (or the cheese the kit names), basil, a small bottle of oil, flour for the bench and your oven card.

Do you ship to the islands?

We do, to Sicily and Sardinia in three days for €15. The box stays cold for 72 hours, so it arrives fine; we only ship Monday and Tuesday to the islands.

Can I freeze the dough balls?

The day they arrive, yes — wrapped one by one, for up to a month. Thaw them overnight in the fridge and give them three hours at room temperature.

What if something arrives warm or broken?

Send a photo to forno@vicofuoco.it the same day and we send a new box or refund it. Unopened tools can come back within 30 days.

Il portone
