Bavaro’s Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria

BAVARO'S PIZZA NAPOLETANA & PASTARIA

Exquisite Italian. 100-Year Old Family Recipes.

Out of passion, tradition, hard work, and integrity, Bavaro’s opened its doors in March 2009 as the first traditional Neapolitan Pizzeria in the state of Florida. Determined to share their family recipes with the world, Dan Bavaro, and his family packed their U-Haul, left their friends and family, drove from New Jersey to Tampa, and set out to provide for others the same love, energy, and authenticity that they experience around their own dinner table.

A company committed to the art and craft of Neapolitan pizza, Bavaro’s stays true to tradition by using hand-crafted, wood-fired brick ovens designed by third-generation Neapolitan craftsmen, a 100-year-old yeast culture, 100-year-old Neapolitan recipes, and top-of-the-line ingredients sourced directly from Italy.

From a single restaurant in downtown Tampa that seats 50 guests, to a thriving brand with a standard of quality that resonates around the world, Bavaro’s has since built 4 additional locations in St. Petersburg, the Tampa International Airport, Sarasota, Clearwater, and Brenchmark International Arena and continues to commit itself to the high-quality, welcoming experience that guests all around the country have grown to love.

As a pioneer in the traditional Neapolitan pizza culture, Bavaro’s has set the standard for authentic Italian food, and has paved, and continues to pave, the way for many others in the industry.
