Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria is the Northwest's first and most celebrated authentic Neapolitan pizzeria. We use the finest imported ingredients and century old artisan traditions to bring the definitive Neapolitan pizza experience to our guests.The inspiration for Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria stems from a passion for the authentic, fire-roasted pizzas born in Naples and found throughout Italy. For a century and a half, the pizza makers (or "pizzaioli" as they are known in their home town) of Naples have been producing unique, mouth-watering pizzas using the freshest ingredients available. Prior to opening Tutta Bella in January 2004, Joe Fugere, the owner, received his certification as a pizzaiolo and traveled to Naples to continue his training and refine his skills. Since the VPN regulations do not state that the pizza must be made in Naples, any restaurant in the world has the opportunity to receive the VPN certification mark provided that the production of their pizzas meets the Association's strict requirements. Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria is the first restaurant in the Northwest to receive the coveted VPN certification.
