About this spot
Pizzeria La Contemporanea delivers crisp, wood-fired Neapolitan pies that rival Naples' finest, served in a minimalist Santo Stefano setting that feels more like an art gallery than a pizzeria. The dough is fermented for days to achieve a shatteringly light crust with a charred leopard spotting on the bottom. Locals flock here for the authentic San Marzano tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella that defines their classic Margherita.
