Grab A Slice Of Neapolitan Pizza In Marana!

All about Marana's emerging and surprising Neapolitan pizza scene!

Marana is a great place to grab some great Mexican food, but did you also know that we have an emerging Italian food scene as well? In fact, we have three Neapolitan-style pizzerias for you to enjoy!

What Makes Neapolitan-Style Pizza Different?

Neapolitan pizza refers to the style that was pioneered and refined over centuries in Naples, Italy. It is known for its hand-stretched dough that is crunchy on the outside, yet soft and moist on the inside. The sauce must be made with a specific type of tomatoes, either San Marzano tomatoes, or a different variety grown in the volcanic plains surrounding Mt. Vesuvius. High-quality Mozzarella cheese is used, and the pie is finished off with basil and extra-virgin olive oil. The pizza is then baked for a very short time (usually just over a minute) in a high-temperature wood-fired oven.

Casa Marana

In addition to its selection of Neapolitan-style Pizza, Casa Marana is a fun, relaxed neighborhood hangout, with a wide selection of local wine and beer on tap, creative, seasonal cocktails made with fresh fruits and juices, and a wide selection of bourbons and other spirits. You can also enjoy pool tables, shuffleboard, real darts, and weekly themed trivia nights, plus occasional live music and fun celebrations. It’s a great place to have some great pizza, great drinks, and great times with family and friends!
