1889 Pizza Napoletana

1889 Pizza Napoletana is born from a couple's love of both Italy and Kansas City. Kelli and Jason Kolich studied abroad in Italy when they were at the University of Kansas. Years passed, but their fondness of the country and cuisine did not. In 2013, Jason told Kelli he wanted to open his own restaurant, right where he grew up in KC. Nearly three years of research, planning, training and construction culminated in the opening of 1889 Pizza Napoletana in June 2016. The duo is proud to bring authentic Neapolitan pizzas to Kansas City. What is Neapolitan pizza? Five main components make up a Neapolitan pizza: 1) Crust is hand tossed and comprised of only "00" flour, salt, water and yeast 2) Sauce is crushed San Marzano tomatoes 3) Cheese is fresh mozzarella 4) Each pizza gets a drizzle of EVOO to enhance the flavors 5) Pizzas are cooked in wood-fired hearth ovens that reach temperatures in excess of 1,000. That means they cook fast, like 90 seconds fast.
