At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

    Very cute establishment! Not only is it woman-owned, but it sources its bakery items from other local women-owned businesses. The setting was adorable, the pastries were delicious, and the prices were reasonable (given the generous amount of food you receive with the Deluxe Tea package). As for parking, it couldn’t be easier, with a public garage right across the street! According to their website, they host events— it would be so cute for a little girl’s birthday or even a bridal/ baby shower 💕
