FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Neapolitan pizza different from American style?
Our pizza is light and airy, avoiding the "brick in your stomach" feeling. We use naturally leavened dough and 900-degree ovens for a signature char.
Where are your wood-fired ovens manufactured?
Our ovens were handcrafted specifically for us in Naples, Italy. They reach the 900-degree temperatures essential for authentic Neapolitan results in 90 seconds.
Does Capella Pizzeria take reservations for groups?
We typically do not take small reservations, but we do accept "Special Large Party Reservations" for groups of 10 or more guests based on current availability.
Why does your pizza dough rest for 24 hours?
Our house-made dough rests for 24 hours to ensure proper gluten development and fermentation. This artisanal process is key to our pizza’s digestibility.
Which ingredients do you import from Italy?
We import Caputo Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil. Our Buffalo Mozzarella is flown in weekly to ensure maximum freshness.
Is online ordering and delivery available?
Yes, we offer delivery via DoorDash. Online ordering is active for our Inverness and Trussville locations, while Uptown guests should call or visit us.
What are the three Capella Pizzeria locations?
You can find us at Inverness Village on Hwy 280, Homestead Village in Trussville, and Uptown at the BJCC in downtown Birmingham.
Why do you sometimes run out of fresh dough?
Quality is our priority. Since our dough requires a strict 24-hour fermentation, we close once the daily artisanal batch is exhausted to avoid serving a rushed product.
