Pulcinella – Best Italian Pizza in Calgary?
Domenic Tudda, owner and head chef of Pulcinella, has pizza making in his blood. From childhood, he honed his skills at Stromboli’s Pizza under the guidance of his father, Joe Tudda.
Domenic’s passion for pizza led him to Italy, where he immersed himself in the art of authentic Napoletana pizza. Captivated by the history, simplicity, and craftsmanship, he earned his certification as a master chef. Returning to Calgary with a vision of crafting classic Naples-style pizza in a modern setting, he set up Pulcinella at the very location of his father’s former restaurant in Kensington.
At Pulcinella, only the most authentic ingredients are used. From Italian double zero flour and cheeses to farm-fresh herbs and toppings, every component meets the rigorous standards of the Associazione Pizzaioli Napolitani, as well as Domenic’s own high standards.
As Calgary’s sole member of the esteemed Associazione Pizzaioli Napolitani, Pulcinella is blessed with a rare distinction in the pizza world.
