Pizza lovers can rejoice because there is a new pizzeria in town in South Mumbai as 1441 Pizzeria has re-opened its new flagship restaurant in Fort in Mumbai, a decade after its first outlet in the neighbourhood at Cheetah Gate, not too far away.
The new outlet, a stone throw away from Hutatma Chowk metro station and not too far away from Churchgate station, is approximately 2,000 sq. ft. and seating 60–70 diners.
At the heart of the space is a fully glazed kitchen that places the art of pizza-making in full view through a see-through kitchen. Diners can watch their pizza being made with hand-stretched dough topped, prepared and placed into the wood-fired oven.
New on the menu
The reopened pizzeria has introduced new dishes, with select Italian delicacies making their debut at Fort before being introduced at other 1441 Pizzeria outlets. Complementing the food menu is an all-day coffee menu and bar offering that brought together Italian classics and Indian favourites, extending the restaurant’s appeal beyond lunch and dinner.
History of 1441 pizzeria
Founded in 2015, 1441 Pizzeria came to the city at a time when authentic pizza was still unheard of in pockets that relied on fast food chains to enjoy the Italian treat that is a favourite among all. Its approach is centered on the details that shape a great pizza, from the flour and fermentation to the ingredients and the intense heat of a wood-fired oven.
Every pizza began with Extraordinary flour, a custom-formulated soft wheat 00 flour developed by Italian Master Chef Renato Viola, creator of the Louis XIII pizza, and milled in Italy by Agugiaro & Figna exclusively for 1441 Pizzeria. The dough is rested for 24 hours before being stretched by hand, topped with San Marzano tomato sauce and baked in a wood-fired oven.
