Napoli on the Road is inviting diners to take a journey back in time and explore chef Michele Pascarella’s childhood memories of growing up eating pizza. Credit: Napoli on the Road If you’re one of London’s many pizza aficionados, you’ve almost definitely heard of Napoli on the Road. What started with Chef Michele Pascarella selling pizzas out of a van, has turned into a trio of pizzerias in the capital, serving up the best authentic Neapolitan pizza in London. And as they settle into their newest site, in Soho, they’re launching an exciting new addition to the menu. Pizza lovers can dive into their beloved dish with a special pizza tasting menu. Launching this August, the pizza tasting menu at Napoli on the Road Soho will celebrate “slow eating, childhood memories and the versatility of an Italian favourite.” It’s an exploration of pizza’s most essential ingredients. It’s also part of Pascarella’s journey to honour authenticity and tradition, whilst evolving and creating a ‘modern pizzeria‘. The tasting menu kicks off with one of the most important ingredients of a great pizza – tomato. The Entrée presents tomatoes at 4 different stages of preparation – highlighting how the fresh produce changes as it cooks. It’s specifically designed to encourage diners to “slow down and appreciate how time can transform the simplest of ingredients.” From there, the tasting menu winds its way through a selection of fritti, pizza, palate cleansers, and dessert. Along the way, diners will try four different pizzas as well as a plethora of other dishes. Together, these dishes explore different aspects of pizza making, as well as specific regions of Italy. And just like any good tasting menu, there’s also a drinks pairing to complement the food. The drinks range widely, from sake to rosé, sweet dessert wine, and more. Said Michele: “Our tasting menu was not created with the idea of making something complex or “starred.” We did not want to impress with techniques for their own sake or build a journey that feels distant from people, but to do exactly the opposite. We want to tell a story made of memories, seasonality, ingredients, and flavours that everyone can understand from the very first bite.” Napoli on the Road To list even just some of Napoli on the Road’s accolades would require its very own section in an article.
