history
pizza napoletana is a traditional speciality guaranteed (tsg) style of preparation and cooking originating from napoli, italia, in the late 18th century. in 1984, the associazione verace pizza napoletana (apn) was founded in order to preserve the style’s traditions and authenticity and we are proud at volturno to be the first restaurant in massachusetts to have received their coveted certification.
what to expect
our apn approved, 100% wood-fired clay oven was built for us by hand in italia by gianni acunto. it is heated up to 900°f using kiln-dried oak and pizzas cook inside for no fewer than 60 seconds, but no greater than 90 seconds. the result is a light char and an airy crust with a distinguishably delicate chew that defines the style. with consideration to its gentle body, toppings are generally added sparsely so as to not compromise its structure.
from us, to you
since 2013, volturno has been dedicated to serving from-scratch, artisanal dishes such as our handmade pasta and multi-award-winning, made-to order pizza. as of 2023, we are proud to offer our house-made mozzarella, burrata, and scamorzza.
