Neapolitan pizza is perhaps the most iconic of all pizzas; a Napolitana’s beauty comes from its simplicity, yet to make it, one must follow very strict guidelines from the method of kneading the dough to the use of a wood-fired oven.

Il Postino, inspired by Italy’s southern city and its culinary fame, is a newly opened pizzeria that aims to give the people of Jeddah a true Neapolitan experience.

The restaurant offers authentic pizza, with almost all the ingredients imported directly from Italy, including the wood oven built from volcanic bricks. Customers can enjoy watching pizzas being freshly prepared and baked as they wait.

Those truly in love with freshly baked pizza can tell the difference between fast food dough and a pizza straight from a wood oven, as the volcanic bricks can withstand a high temperature, which gives the pizza its authentic crust and the original taste.

Il Postino has a menu of 12 pizzas, catering to all tastes, including marinara, margherita, and tartufo and burrata. Located at Sari Road, Al-Khalidiyah district, more information can be found at the restaurants Instagram account @ilpostino.sa.
