The Art of the Dough: Authentic Sourdough Craft
Forget standard bases. We’re talking 72-hour fermented sourdough, hand-stretched live by our chefs, and blistered to perfection in a 400°C wood-fired oven.
Look at that crumb structure. This cross-section of our sourdough crust shows the airy, open texture that comes from a long, 72-hour fermentation process. It's light, digestible, and delicious.

The first step in our artisanal process. Our baker's hands gently knead the dough, starting a journey that ends with the perfect pizza crust or loaf of bread.

About The Art of the Dough
When you taste our base, you're tasting a 72-hour fermentation process. That isn't just a number; it's the reason our sourdough crust is light, tangy, and actually easy to digest. At our live stations, you'll see our pizzaiolos hand-stretch this same dough right in front of your guests, turning the catering into the main event.
Why Sourdough Matters
Most pizza you grab at a party relies on quick-yeast doughs that can leave you feeling heavy. Our sourdough is different. By giving the dough 72 hours to ferment, we allow the wild yeast to break down complex starches and develop that signature tang. The result is a crust that is airy, light, and creates that beautiful, charred cornicione you see in our photos.
The Live Station Experience
We don't just show up with pre-made boxes. We bring the heat—literally. Whether it’s our Brik Mobile trailer for outdoor events or our compact Ooni setup for terrace parties, our process is transparent and theatrical. Your guests get to watch the whole thing:
- The dough ball gets a final rest.
- The pizzaiolo performs the hand-stretch to get that perfect thin center.
- The pizza hits the 400°C wood fire.
- It comes out in 90 seconds, hot and bubbly.
Whole Wheat Options
We know not everyone wants the classic white sourdough, so we’ve perfected a whole wheat version that doesn't compromise on texture. It has a nuttier, heartier profile that holds up incredibly well in our wood-fired ovens. You can request this for your event at no extra charge, giving your guests a wholesome option that still delivers that premium, artisanal experience.
Our Ingredients
Beyond the dough, it is about the build. We use authentic San Marzano tomato sauce and our own fresh mozzarella, made from scratch three times a day in our kitchen. When you pair that fresh cheese with a live-fired sourdough base, you are getting a level of quality that standard catering services simply cannot match.
