It’s not quite “textbook” Neapolitan, and it’s not at all New York style either. Pizzeria Faulisi just calls it “thin crust, wood-fired pizza”. And it is very, VERY good! 🍕 🍕 🍕
In the heart of downtown Cary, Pizzeria Faulisi serves up delicious pies crafted with freshly-milled flour from Boulted Bread in Raleigh & Caputo flour from Italy. It’s baked about 90 seconds at 800 degrees or so in the Stefan Ferraro oven from Naples.
All the pizzas are 12 inches in diameter, thin crust, and are 100% wood fired. They run around $18 to $20 each, in late 2024. (If you think that’s too much, open your own spot and charge less).
And don’t sleep on terrific sides like Ricotta Gnocchi or Wood Fired Cauliflower Caesar Salad.
Great stuff from a true Mom and Pop spot, with owner/chefs Zach (Babbo) and Amber (Locanda Verde) Faulisi - always excellent, smiling service with a spotless open kitchen and dining room.
