La Perla

La Perla is the only pizza-maker on the Jordaan street known locally as Little Italy, working a large wood-fired brick oven and importing DOP buffalo mozzarella made by the Chiari family in the Naples area -- named, checkable provenance rather than a generic import claim. No source found in this run names the pizzaiolo or describes the dough itself, so the record rests on the oven and the ingredient sourcing rather than a fermentation claim.

Tweede Tuindwarsstraat 14, 1015 RZ Amsterdam · Amsterdam · Neapolitan
