Pizzeria Viva Napoli, Italian restaurant in Valencia, Spain.
Pizzeria Viva Napoli is an Italian restaurant in Valencia specializing in Neapolitan pizza. The kitchen uses a wood-fired oven and ingredients brought in from Italy to prepare pizzas following recipes from the Naples tradition.
The restaurant brought the Neapolitan pizza tradition to Valencia, drawing directly from techniques passed down through generations in southern Italy. Those methods were kept as they were rather than adapted to local tastes.
The pizzas are made following Neapolitan traditions passed down through generations of pizza makers. Visitors can watch the chefs stretch the dough by hand and bake the pizzas in seconds using the wood-fired oven.
The restaurant is open in the evenings, closed on Tuesdays, making it a good option for dinner on most days of the week. Arriving early in the service tends to mean shorter waits and a calmer setting.
The wood-fired oven reaches over 400 degrees Celsius (about 750 degrees Fahrenheit), baking each pizza in under 90 seconds. That speed is what creates the spotted, slightly charred edge that sets Neapolitan pizza apart from other styles.
