Talia di Napoli is a first-of-its-kind pizza company that handcrafts and ships fresh, Neapolitan pies from Naples, Italy, to the U.S. Founded in 2019 by fourth-generation Napoletani Ludovico Bassetti and Edouard Fredo, Talia di Napoli celebrates Southern Italy’s venerable culinary heritage while embracing forward-thinking technology. Each Talia di Napoli pizza comes from the brand's Naples pizzifi
cio (pizza house), where a team of 30 pizzaiolos (pizza masters) make up to 9,000 pies a day. Talia di Napoli’s proprietary family recipe dates back to 1889, including the team’s precious mother dough, which rises naturally for 24 hours. Toppings are meticulously sourced from small family farms across Southern Italy. After emerging from the wood-fired oven, each pizza is immediately “put to sleep” using a cutting-edge cryogenic freezing method, invented by co-founder Edouard Fredo’s Uncle Guido. Talia di Napoli is poised to shake up the frozen pizza aisle, which has (until now) been rooted solely in convenience at the expense of quality. With continued innovation at the forefront — from seasonal and vegan launches to comprehensive sustainability initiatives — the team is unwavering in their mission to honor Naples’ artisanal culture, bringing the region’s culinary traditions to more home kitchens around the world.
