Wood & Fire Neapolitan Pizzeria
About
Wood & Fire Neapolitan Pizzeria in Melrose serves authentic Neapolitan pizza baked in a 900-degree wood-burning oven. The dough uses imported Italian “00” Caputo flour, and toppings start with San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella. Pizzas come out soft and airy with a touch of char on the crust. Appetizers, salads and panini round out the savory side of the menu.
Owners Joe and Leesa Auciello spent a decade running a successful restaurant in Arlington with co-chef Omar before deciding it was time for a change of scenery. Their goal was to introduce authentic Neapolitan pizza to the cities and towns north of Boston, and Wood + Fire opened on December 29, 2015. The owners pitch it as a way to get the pizza people remember from a vacation in Italy without boarding a plane.
