This week we were featured on the blog of D.C. Metropolitan area-based private chef Alba Carbonaro Johnson. Alba’s blog includes easy-to-make recipes that originate from Italian, Spanish, French, and Moroccan cuisine. Naturally we were glad to welcome her for some authentic Neapolitan and Marinara pizzas. In her write up of Marra Forni, she even includes some of the rich history of Neapolitan pizza.
From Alba’s Blog:
“Today, I was lucky enough to discover a place in Beltsville, Maryland, where authentic Neapolitan pizza ovens are imported from Naples, Italy. They are completed, customized and personalized by Marra Forni for restaurants, pizza shops and even pizza aficionados. It was like being transported to Naples, Italy. Friendly and warm greetings by fellow Neapolitans, the Marra family, which are owners of Euro Gourmet and Marra Wood-Fired Pizza Oven stores. The Marra family took time out of their busy day to give me an impressive tour of their facilities. If that wasn’t enough, they made authentic Margherita pizza and Pizza Marinara in their luxurious wood-fire oven demo room. What a delicious and perfect pizza it was.”
