PizzaDiVico De.Co.
The first 'Pizza di Vico' with municipal designation.
The “Pizza di Vico,” a true excellence of the municipality of Vico Equense, is recognized with a Municipal Designation, known as De.Co., and represents culinary perfection made possible only through artisanal care and the use of traditional methods.
This gastronomic delight is the result of a commitment to carefully select high-quality raw materials directly from the producer, ensuring freshness and authenticity. The processing techniques, passed down through generations, are reflected in the final result: an extraordinary pizza, taller and softer in its compactness yet crispy on the palate, ranging in length from half a meter to two meters, with a dough thickness in the center not exceeding 5 millimeters and a crust that does not exceed 2 centimeters.
Its secret also lies in the rigorous baking in wood-fired ovens, handmade with Sorrento clay refractory bricks, characterized by a dome slightly higher than traditional ovens and a baking time averaging between 2 and 5 minutes at an optimal temperature of 350 degrees Celsius.
Compared to Neapolitan pizza, the “Pizza di Vico” also differs in the order in which the toppings are placed. It starts with fior di latte cheese and ends with tomato sauces and other ingredients. Finally, the peels, the tools used to bake and control the pizza, are rectangular and wooden, allowing for the best insertion of the pizza “meter” into the fire mouth of the oven.
The Pizza di Vico is a celebration of local culinary tradition, a fusion of flavors and aromas that capture the soul of the Sorrento Coast. Every bite is a journey through artisanal mastery and love for authentic ingredients, bringing the authentic taste of Vico Equense directly to the table.
