Lazzarella delivers authentic, sustainable Neapolitan pizza bases to the hospitality industry

26-4-2024

According to the owners of Lazzarella, the pizzas served in the Dutch hospitality industry are often not fresh, not authentic Italian and not always tasty. Lazzarella’s ready-made pizza solution allows restaurants to serve Authentic Neapolitan pizzas with minimal effort.

Although they currently only are made in Naples, the pizza will soon be produced at their pizzeria in Erp. The dough is prepared with fresh ingredients from Italy, stretched by hand and baked 80% before being packaged. With minimal skills and time, the pizza can be easily topped and only has to bake briefly. This way, you effortlessly serve your guests the most authentic Neapolitan pizza with Lazzarella’s high-quality pizza base, all within 2 minutes.

We have spotted the Frikan’ Dutchman pizza by Domino’s here in the Netherlands with the Dutch bar snack ‘Frikandel’ or the Turkish pizza with our national bar snack ‘kroket’, called ‘Pizza Marjolein’, at a cafetaria in Utrecht (we couldn’t find it on the menu anymore).  We think the mozza sticks and fried onions are more appropriate on pizza!
