Fueled by their passion, they traveled to Italy and worked in bakeries and kitchens, mastering the art of cooking with fire in rustic brick ovens.

It was the Bufalina that stole their hearts, topped with locally-made water buffalo mozzarella. The pinnacle of southern Italian goodness, it inspired the name of their pizzeria. Today they strive to bring those sunny Italian flavors home.
