Cuisine Specialty and Core Philosophy
The restaurant’s Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is built on its deep respect for Italian artisanal traditions, aiming to provide the closest experience to the true flavors of Naples, the birthplace of pizza.
Cuisine Specialty: Authentic Neapolitan Pizza (sourdough base).
Core Philosophy: Built on 24-hour fermented sourdough, high-quality imported and local ingredients, and a commitment to slow-made, soulful food.
The new Hyderabad outlets are designed as warm, open kitchen spaces, allowing guests to witness the process firsthand. They also feature an interactive experience where guests can choose ingredients and create their own sourdough pizza under expert guidance, making the meal a “memory, a ritual, a connection to the spirit of Naples.” The article does not specify the total number of outlets in India, but notes it is the world’s largest AVPN-certified pizzeria network.
Leadership Quotes on the Launch
Italian chef Massimo Verzini, the executive chef of Si Nonna’s, highlighted the tradition behind the cuisine: “Sourdough has its origins in the Italian region of Naples… it’s a craft passed down through generations. We’re excited to bring this same tradition of patience and artisanal care to a city that truly understands the beauty of slow-fermented, flavour-rich food.”
Ayush Jatia, the visionary behind Si Nonna’s, commented on the strategic importance of the city: “Bringing Si Nonna’s to Hyderabad feels special. The city is energetic, curious, and deeply passionate about food. Both locations gives us the perfect home to introduce a wider range of Neapolitan flavours… Everything we do stays rooted in Italian tradition, yet speaks to today’s evolving tastes.”
