Marzano’s Nelson BC

What sets Marzano’s in Nelson BC apart is the commitment to authenticity. Before opening, the owners spent a week in Naples learning directly from legendary pizzaiolo Enzo Coccia, studying traditional dough techniques, proper use of the forno, and simple, time honored recipes. They learned century old hand stretching methods and the importance of pure, fresh, non GMO ingredients. One of the biggest differences is the use of true San Marzano tomatoes, grown only in the volcanic soil near Naples and often skipped by North American restaurants to cut costs.

The pizza itself was flawless. It may look massive, but it’s light and balanced, not a gut bomb. The Margherita was the standout, with bright San Marzano tomato sauce and high quality mozzarella coming together in a way that completely lives up to the name Marzano, an honest tribute to quality and tradition.
