## About The Neapolitan Craft: Our Process & People

You might notice a soft, slightly wet center on your pizza. This is the hallmark of a true Neapolitan pie, not a sign that it is undercooked. We use a high-hydration, 24-hour fermented dough that cooks in just a minute at intense heat, which creates that signature airy crust and complex flavor profile that we are known for.

We do not just make pizza. We obsess over the variables that go into every single pie. Our process starts long before the oven is fired up, with 24-hour fermented dough that develops a deep, airy structure. When you see those large, irregular air pockets in the rim, that is the result of proper fermentation and careful hand-stretching by our team, including passionate pizzaiolas like Cruzo and Amol.

We keep our ingredient list simple because there is nowhere to hide in a Neapolitan pizza. We use San Marzano tomato bases and fresh buffalo mozzarella. When you order a Margherita, you are tasting the quality of these three core elements. If you opt for something bolder, like our Goan Sausage pizza or the Bianca Truffle, you are getting the same attention to the dough, just with toppings that bring a serious flavour punch.

Everything happens in our wood-fired ovens, which maintain the high temperatures needed to achieve that leopard-spotted char without drying out the center. Whether you visit us in Vasant Vihar, Amar Colony, or Ghitorni, you are getting the same authentic wood-fired pizza experience. We aren't just serving food; we are sharing the craft of real, soulful Neapolitan pizza. If you have questions about our ingredients or want to know which pie suits your mood, just ask.

## About Leo's

We believe in the Italian saying, 'Per fare la pizza devi metterci anche il cuore' — to make pizza, you have to put your heart in. It is not about the awards on the wall, but about the dough we stretch and the fire we manage every single day to get that perfect char.
