Regarding delicious food, the Italians certainly know a thing or two. They have blessed the world with pasta, ciabatta, risotto, tiramisu, and, of course, the unsurpassed king of kings, pizza. Filippo Ricci is a master pizza chef who trained at a prestigious school of pizza makers in Italy. He is committed to producing the highest-quality pizza, utilising the best ingredients, almost 90% of which come directly from his Italian homeland. Filippo strongly believes that one of the most critical aspects of creating top-quality pizza starts with the dough, which at Pizzeria Italia is freshly prepared daily using various flours and hard-worn techniques passed down through many generations of Italian pizza chefs. The resulting dough is a very healthy and digestible semi-wholemeal concoction that undergoes a leavening process of some 60 hours. It has always been Filippo Ricci’s intention to bring a delicious and genuine Italian culinary experience to the British palate, primarily through his flagship pizzas. The much-loved restaurant he owns prides itself on always maintaining a high quality of service, ingredients, and immaculate cleanliness. The icing on the cake is the company’s fabulous contingent of restaurant staff, who are always kind, caring, and professional. The venue, located at the Four Lane Ends Interchange between Gosforth and Benton, is likewise home to a beautiful, welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Pizzeria Italia owner Filippo has a considerable wealth of experience behind him and particularly shines when it comes to his passion and research in the pizza department. After training in Italy, he received over 15 awards and nominations for his cooking skills. In 2023, this culminated in Filippo becoming a Chief Ambassador for Moretti LAB, which means he now represents one of the best pizza oven companies in the world. This involves taking part in various consultancies and participating in trade fairs all around the world. He has attended Host in Milan, the Pizza London Festival, and the Pizza Summit in Orlando, Florida. Newcastle has also become a city recognised as a pizza equipment sale point and a pizza and flour consultancy after he opened a showroom and academy for pizza makers called IM.PA.STO. This is perfect for Filippo, who is proud to see his beloved pizza becoming a food part of an evolving tradition whilst always maintaining ties to its origins and tradition. Pizzeria Italia has garnered many positive testimonials and currently holds a maximum 5-star review status on TripAdvisor. The restaurant is treasured by many, for example, Steve B, who comments, “Absolutely amazing place. I can’t recommend it enough.
