## About The Art of the Pie: Behind the Scenes

We don't use a knife to slice your pizza because it crushes the air out of the crust. Instead, we use scissors. It is a small, slightly quirky step, but it keeps that airy, cloud-like crumb intact so the crust remains light and digestible from the first bite to the last.

There is a reason we use a wood-fired oven that hits temperatures high enough to bake a pie in 60 to 90 seconds. It is the only way to get the leopard-spotted char that defines authentic Neapolitan pizza. When you visit our kitchens in Vasant Vihar or Amar Colony, you will see that we do not hide behind fancy tricks. 

We start with the dough. It requires a long fermentation process, which breaks down the starches and makes the pizza easy to eat. You can actually see this work in the photos. That open, airy structure inside the cornicione, or the outer crust, is the result of patience. It is not just about heat. It is about timing and understanding the hydration of the flour. 

When we top our pies, we keep it balanced. Take our Margherita, for example. It is the toughest pizza to make because there are no heavy toppings to mask the quality of the ingredients. You have tomato, cheese, and basil. If the dough is off or the cheese is not fresh, you will know immediately. Our process is transparent because we believe the craft should speak for itself. Whether it is the bold Goan Sausage or our classic Marinara, the goal is always the same: a flavour punch that stays true to our philosophy, 'Per fare la pizza devi metterci anche il cuore' (you have to put your heart into it).

## About Leo's
