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.

Wow, this place definitely lives up to the hype! My friend has been a regular since it first opened and suggested Naxos to celebrate our friend’s birthday. From the warm, friendly staff to the incredible food, everything exceeded expectations. The crudo is some of the best I’ve ever had—including throughout the Mediterranean! The fish was so fresh, I almost wondered if it swam straight to the restaurant just hours before being prepared. Highly recommend. Enjoy!
