Carmelo’s pizza dough secrets, from South Italy to Birmingham
We believe a great Neapolitan pizza comes from great ingredients. That’s why the Squadra crafts every pizza using only the finest Italian prodotti — starting with the unbeatable Caputo Rossa tipo 00 flour, and finishing with some of the finest toppings sourced from across Italy: creamy mozzarella from Puglia, authentic Prosciutto di Parma from Emilia-Romagna, and black truffles harvested in the central regions of the Bel Paese.
After years spent experimenting and learning from the best maestri, our beloved pizzaioli introduced a new version of pizza dough all the way from Napoli to La Bellezza, in Birmingham – a revisited version of the classic one but richer in flavour, structure and sponginess. The secret lies in the “biga,” an age-old Italian fermentation method that transforms a simple blend of flour, water, and yeast. Left to rest for 24 hours, this pre-ferment adds depth and character. The dough is then shaped into individual balls and allowed to rest for another 24 hours, creating a crust that is light, airy, and well balanced.
As maestro Carmelo says, our pizza dough is easy to digest and won’t leave you feeling thirsty… (though we won’t judge if you still go for that extra Espresso Martini). Whether you’re loyal to the classic Margherita or prefer to go crazy with bold toppings, our Neapolitan pizzas are made for true carb lovers (the kind who want to indulge without feeling bloated, oops!).

A special grazie to our Italian producers
Maestro Carmelo takes great pride in talking about the long love story between the squadra and our beloved Italian suppliers. As he likes to say, “it’s all about the prodotti” and Chef Mimmo couldn’t agree more.
We’re talking decade-long relationships with more than 150 produttori across the boot, all working together to ensure our dishes and Neapolitan pizzas are topped with only the freshest, most authentic ingredients. It begins with our generous 250g burratas from Sapori di Puglia — born in the heart of Andria over a century ago — and continues north to Caseificio Gennari in Parma, a true institution when it comes to Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. And of course, there’s our indulgent Prosciutto di Parma DOP from the kings of ham, Paolo and Gianfranco Rossini, whose family-run business has been nestled in Emilia-Romagna for more than a hundred years.
Take our Double Truffle Pizza — a Brummies’ favourite — with a rich, earthy flavour that only the black truffle from Alfredo Romani can deliver. With a lifetime of experience hand-selecting the finest tartufi, harvested the traditional way in the Appennino Italiano, Signor Romani brings something truly special to the table. Trust us, amici — our Double Truffle Pizza at La Bellezza simply wouldn’t taste the same without his black truffle.
