Why Choose Wood Fired Pizza?
The secret to our irresistibly pizza lies in the smoky, earthy flavour that only a wood-fired oven can provide. At Little Aosta in Arrowtown, we use traditional wood fire cooking to infuse our pizzas with a unique taste that simply can’t be replicated by other methods. The intense heat of the fire cooks our pizzas quickly and evenly, delivering a perfectly crispy smoky crust every time.
Our authentic Italian restaurant methods ensure that nothing compares to a true wood fired pizza oven taste. It’s a staple for creating the perfect pizza, and our chefs wouldn’t settle for anything less. The secret ingredient in all our wood-fired pizzas is the “wood” itself, real logs burning in a specially designed clay and stone oven that holds intense heat. This time-honored Italian technique ensures every pizza, from a classic Margherita to an Italian Quattro Formaggi is cooked to perfection.
