Authentic Italian Pizza: Discover the Art of Traditional Flavours at Wooden Horse Café Bar Pizza

Explore the History, Craft, and Local Ingredients Behind Our Authentic Italian Pizza

At Wooden Horse Café Bar Pizza, we’re not just serving pizza—we’re serving a slice of Italy. Our authentic Italian pizza is crafted with love, tradition, and a sprinkle of magic that takes you straight to the cobblestone streets of Naples. From our special dough recipe to the finest local ingredients, every bite is a celebration of flavour and history.
So, what makes our pizza so special? Let us take you behind the scenes to explore the art, history, and passion that go into creating the perfect authentic Italian pizza.

A Journey Through Pizza History

Pizza has a story as rich as its flavours. While flatbreads with toppings have been enjoyed for centuries, the pizza we know and love today was born in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. It started as a humble dish for the working class, with simple ingredients like tomatoes, cheese, and fresh herbs.
At Wooden Horse Café Bar Pizza, we honour this tradition by staying true to the roots of authentic Italian pizza. Our recipes are inspired by the classic Neapolitan style, where simplicity and quality reign supreme.

The Secret to Our Dough

The foundation of any great pizza is the dough, and ours is no exception. Our dough is made using a time-honoured recipe that combines just four simple ingredients: flour, water, salt, and yeast. But the magic lies in the process.
We let our dough ferment slowly over time, allowing it to develop its signature flavour and light, airy texture. This slow fermentation not only enhances the taste but also makes the dough easier to digest. The result? A crust that’s perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and full of character.

Local Ingredients, Italian Soul

While our techniques are steeped in Italian tradition, we’re proud to use the best local ingredients to create our pizzas. From fresh vegetables to premium meats and cheeses, we source our produce from trusted Australian suppliers who share our commitment to quality.
Our tomato sauce is made in-house using ripe, juicy tomatoes, a touch of olive oil, and a blend of herbs and spices. And when it comes to cheese, we don’t compromise. Our pizzas are topped with creamy mozzarella that melts to perfection, creating that irresistible stretch with every bite.

Toppings That Tell a Story

At Wooden Horse Café Bar Pizza, we believe that every topping has a story to tell. That’s why we carefully select each ingredient to create a harmonious balance of flavours.
Are you a fan of the classics? Our Margherita pizza, with its simple combination of tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil, is a timeless favourite. Feeling adventurous? Try our Prosciutto and Rocket pizza, where the saltiness of the prosciutto meets the peppery kick of fresh rocket. And for those who love a bit of spice, our Diavola pizza, topped with spicy salami and chilli, is sure to heat things up.

The Perfect Bake

Once our pizzas are topped, they’re baked to perfection in our traditional pizza oven. The high heat ensures a crisp, golden crust while keeping the toppings fresh and vibrant. It’s this attention to detail that sets our pizzas apart and keeps our customers coming back for more.
