01La Storia

A Neapolitan pizzeria, tucked away on a flower farm.

Pesto Kitchen was founded in 2022 by Chef Csaba Simo, and has been making waves in the artisan food scene ever since — from our home at Elmgrove Farm in Gormanston.

We take traditional Neapolitan methods seriously. Our dough rests for a full 48 hours: a slow fermentation that makes the base light, airy and easy to digest. Then it meets serious heat, for the charred, blistered crust and big flavour every great Neapolitan pizza is known for.

What goes on top matters just as much — premium Irish charcuterie and Kilnamartyra buffalo mozzarella, alongside Parmigiano-Reggiano, fior di latte and fresh basil.

02Il Metodo

From flour to fire.

Four steps, no shortcuts. It’s the way pizza has been made in Naples for generations — and the way we make every single one of ours.

  1. I.

    Impasto The dough

    Simple, honest ingredients mixed the Neapolitan way — nothing the dough doesn’t need.

  2. II.

    Lievitazione The rest

    48 hours of slow fermentation. Time does the work, building flavour and a light, digestible base.

  3. III.

    Stesura The stretch

    Each ball is hand-stretched to order, pushing the air out to the edge for a tall, puffy cornicione.

  4. IV.

    Cottura The bake

    Fierce heat on stone until the crust chars, blisters and leopard-spots. Straight out and into your hands.
