We all have our favorite pizza joints. Whether you’re craving just a slice or a whole pie, Indiana is full of eateries serving this American take on an old-world classic. But if you’re looking for the real deal, you can try pizza certified by Italy right here in the Hoosier State.
To protect its culinary customs and history, the Italian government gives designations verifying the originality of products from its country. Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN) is a group supported by the Italian government dedicated to protecting and promoting “true Neapolitan pizza.” The group has strict rules and guidelines that must be followed. When an eatery does that, then they receive a special designation that demonstrates they meet the strict requirements that respect and honor the tradition and art of Neapolitan pizza making.
There are fewer than 100 restaurants in the U.S. that have received certification from the AVPN. Venturi in Goshen, Indiana is one of them. They received their designation in 2011 and have been making authentic Neapolitan pizza ever since.
This joint boasts a fantastic atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious eats. The only problem you might encounter at this eatery is which pizza to order. It just might take multiple visits to try all the crowd-pleasing pizzas on the menu.
Each pizza is cooked quickly for just 60 to 90 seconds in a wood-fired oven creating a crispy crust with a tender middle. The raised edge is just one of the signature features of pizza certified by Italy.
Pick from a mouthwatering array of red and white pizzas. Whether you're craving a classic Margherita or a more extravagant pie, you're sure to find a pizza that will send your taste buds soaring.
All of the ingredients from the oil up to the cheese and everything on top are all certified as well. This means you get the very finest with every bite.
