Bring Italy Home: Make Real Pizza with Affetto Italiano

Why Go Out, When You Can Pizza Better at Home?

Let’s be honest — you’ve been disappointed before. You order a pizza, open the box, and it's... fine. But not Italy fine. Not crispy crust, creamy mozzarella, rich tomato sauce, and toppings that make you cry a little from happiness.

So why not make it yourself? We’re not saying you need to build a wood-fired oven in your garden (unless you're into that sort of thing). With the right ingredients, you can make real Italian pizza at home — the kind that would make a Neapolitan nod in approval.

What You Need (and Yes, We Have It)

Flour That Knows Its Job
Real Italian pizza starts with real Italian flour. Our Caputo Blue 00 Flour is the gold standard — finely milled, elastic, and born for the job. Prefer a gluten-free night? We’ve got that too.

Tomatoes Worth the Hype
Forget bland tinned tomatoes. Our San Marzano tomatoes, passata rustica, and pizza sauce bring the rich, sweet acidity that makes every bite sing O Sole Mio.

Cheese, Please
Mozzarella is a must, but why stop there? Add a few slices of Taleggio, sprinkle in some Grana Padano, or get cheeky with Scamorza Affumicata. Melty, creamy, and molto flavourful.

The Star Toppings
Want to show off a little? Here’s how Italians do it:

  • Truffle Salame for something luxuriously different

  • Nduja for heat and passion (like a Calabrian holiday)

  • Prosciutto Crudo, added after baking, for that elegant touch

  • Pre-sliced Mortadella with a swirl of pistachio cream… yes, really

Not a Pizza Chef? Doesn’t Matter.

Making pizza at home isn’t about perfection. It’s about playing with flavours, getting your hands floury, and stealing toppings before they hit the dough. It’s about putting music on, calling it "date night", or letting the kids make their weird little creations.

You bring the fun. We’ll bring the ingredients.
