Atlanta-based Chef Luca Varuni of Varuni Napoli announced it will branch nationwide by partnering with Goldbelly, an online marketplace. Varuni Napoli will offer nationwide shipping across all 50 states with the help of Goldbelly the week of Oct. 3. The pizzeria was recently awarded Best Pizza in Atlanta by Atlanta Journal-Constitution, so pizza lovers will not want to miss this launch of Neapolitan pies.
“Now more than ever, I wanted to find a way to share our beloved and award-winning pizza with those who aren’t able to travel to Atlanta to experience it, and Goldbelly has provided us the outlet to do so,” said Executive Chef and Owner Luca Varuni. “In a time where traveling has picked back up and staying home is the new normal for some, we look forward to being able to deliver a taste of Italy all over the country.”
Chef Luca was trained under the maestro pizzaiolo Enzo Coccia of La Notizia, which is the first ever Michelin-rated pizzeria in the world. Chef Luca is admired for his deep affiliation with Neapolitan roots and tradition. Varuni spent quite a bit of time studying traditional Mediterranean and Neopolitican cooking in Sorrento, then chose to highlight his culinary and traditional experience in the United States. Varuni opened the first location of Varuni Napoli in 2014 in Midtown and due to its success, opened his second pizzeria in Krog Street Market in 2017. Since then, Varuni Napoli has attracted nationwide attention and been included in outlets such as CNN, Food Network, Pizza Today, PMQ Pizza Magazine, Thrillist, and more. Chef Luca and Varuni Napoli have also partnered with the world leader in kitchen appliances, Breville.
On Goldbelly, Varuni Napoli will feature three of its best-selling pies; the Margherita, the Oro Bianco and the Bastardo. The Margherita is a fan-favored classic consisting of DOP-certified San Marzano tomato sauce, DOP buffalo mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, and extra virgin olive oil. The Oro Bianco is baked with fresh mozzarella, buffalo ricotta, Taleggio cheese, pancetta, Pecorino Romano, black truffle oil and black pepper. Last but not least, the Bastardo is made with DOP-certified San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, pepperoni cups, ‘nduja and Pecorino Romano. This unique selection of 14-inch classic Neapolitan pies will be available for purchase in many different combinations. This variety includes 2 packs or 4 pack pizza samplers of Varuni Napoli’s best sellers.
