Born a wood-fired oven on wheels, Mission Pizza Napoletana occupies a cozy space in the Arts District of Downtown Winston-Salem, an emerging area full of creative innovators in food, beverage, and the arts.

Mission Pizza Napoletana honors the centuries-old tradition of pizza makers in the birthplace of pizza; Naples, Italy. Baked in our handmade Stefano Ferrara oven at 900+ degrees, the result is a beautiful pizza; soft and light, yet crisp, and topped with fresh, balanced ingredients. Mission Pizza Napoletana stands out by its embrace of both traditional and modern methods, an insistence on using the best ingredients we can source, and commitment to quality.

No simple pizzeria, however, Mission Pizza Napoletana is a proper osteria. We offer a full menu of Italian-inspired pastas, salads, vegetables, and features. Local craft beers and small-producer Italian wines are carefully selected to complement our food.

Conceived and founded by Peyton Smith, Mission Pizza Napoletana opened in January of 2014 following a 6 year labor of love to bring one of the world's great culinary traditions to his hometown. NC's first Napoletana pizzeria, Mission Pizza Napoletana is a leader in the region, and recognized among the best in the world as a destination for pizza.
