Nonna's, renowned for its culinary innovation, is proud to bring India's first Neapolitan Sourdough Pizzeria to Fergusson College Road in Pune. With two successful locations in Mumbai's Andheri West and Lower Parel, Nonna's now expands to enchant Pune with its authentic Italian flavors.

As you step into Nonna's, you're transported to an inviting Italian Trattoria. This 92-seater restaurant exudes warmth, making it the perfect place to savor genuine Italian cuisine. With an open kitchen design, you get a front-row seat to the art of pizza-making, adding a dash of excitement to your dining experience.

Founded by Ayush Jatia, Nonna's is a culinary journey to Naples, Italy. Their sourdough starter has a rich history dating back to the 18th century, nurtured and celebrated by generations of the Galliano family of Naples.

What sets Nonna's pizza apart is the method. Unlike dough that uses commercially produced yeast for a quick rise, Nonna's dough is naturally fermented for 48 hours using their heirloom "mother dough." It's then baked in a 400°C oven for precisely 90 seconds, locking in natural aroma and moisture, resulting in a light and easily digestible crust.

Nonna's menu is a delight for your taste buds, featuring star dishes like Pizza No. 2, Pizza No.3, and Pizza No. 6, which are crowd favorites. They offer a range of options, from hand-stretched Neapolitan pizzas to fried nibbles, salads, oven-baked starters, and mouthwatering desserts, including their famous Tiramisu.

The beverage selection is equally impressive, featuring wines, Aperol, Campari, and beer thoughtfully curated to complement your meal. What's exceptional about Nonna's is their commitment to accommodating diverse dietary preferences, including offerings for Jains and Vegans. You can also personalize your pizzas to your liking.

At Nonna's, authenticity extends to their ingredients, which are a blend of imported and local items, creating a symphony of flavors that transport you to Italy with every bite.

Ayush Jatia, the founder, says, "Nonna's has embarked on a mission to bring Pune the ultimate pizza experience, boasting our signature sourdough pizzas with a legacy of a 500-year-old recipe. We believe in crafting exceptional dining experiences, and our passion for perfection shines through our artisanal creations. With a blend of traditional techniques and innovative flavors, we are sure that Pune will love Nonna's as much as it's been adored in Mumbai."

Come to Nonna's to experience pizza in its true, traditional form, and embark on a journey of authentic Italian cuisine.
