It’s official: Neapolitan pizza is in Seattle to stay. Tutta Bella Neapolitan beat 33,000 pizzerias nationwide to win Pizza Today Magazine’s prestigious 2010 Independent Pizzeria of the Year award.

According to Pizza Today’s Editor-in-Chief Jeremy White, “Truly authentic Neapolitan pizza is a thing of unmistakable beauty,” and I couldn’t agree more.

I can just taste the thin, blackened crust and the slightly-sweet tang of the tomatoes, the creaminess and saltiness of the melted mozzarella, and the bite of the earthy herbs right now.

Anybody else hungry?

It’s those traditional ingredients and the 800-degree wood burning oven that make this pizza authentically Napolitana.

Tutta Bella was the first restaurant in the Pacific Northwest to receive VPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napolitana) certification 2004.

In celebration of this great honor, Tutta Bella is offering a free pizza of your choice to each table during lunch and dinner at all four of their locations from Aug 16- Aug 22.

Don’t forget to save room for their to-die-for tiramisu or the amazing Bottega Italiana gelato.
