The Biga experience

Biga by name and bigger by nature. We prepare our signature three-generation Biga dough to our not-so-secret recipe of 5.0pH with 12H of proofing at 24ºC, all to create a uniquely risen pizza with towering crusts of mouthwatering flavour.

Cutting quarters, Neapolitan style

We cut our pizzas like the masters of Naples, four-ways - always - and with scissors.
