LOVE AND FANTASY PIZZAS, PIZZA WITH KM PRODUCTS 0 OF THE CONVIVAL GARDEN
Pizz’Amore and Fantasia is a provincial pizzeria that has its strong point in the territory.
The pizza maker's creature Salvatore Palma it is located in the Vesuvian area: a Sant’Anastasia, near the Sanctuary of the Madonna dell’Arco (one of the best known places of worship in Campania).
It is this fertile land that gives its mark and character to the local pizza.
THE LOCAL
Pizz'Amore e Fantasia is a large independent structure, with modern and totally plastic free furnishings, with two outdoor gazebos in the front and a garden.
Two wood-burning ovens in the main room, a third in the active garden during the summer, plus another (electric) dedicated to gluten-free pizza.
The care and attention, as always, can be seen in the details: the napkins on the table are cloth (wrapped in strips of paper bearing gastronomic citations), as well as wipes in the bathroom, to avoid paper waste; the ham to be placed on the pizzas is cut at the moment, with a manual slicer positioned on the trolley.
The free outdoor parking area available to customers is very useful.
Good news for those who want to be accompanied by their four-legged friend: the pizzeria is pet friendly.
On Sundays the restaurant is closed for a very specific choice: allow all workers to spend time with their families.

COLLABORATION WITH THE CONVIVAL GARDEN
The real strength of Pizz’Amore and Fantasia, however, are the ingredients.
For over a year Salvatore Palma has chosen to embrace the de The Convivial Garden by Miriam Corongiu and Vincenzo Marciano, a reality of the Anastasian territory engaged not only in agriculture in the strict sense, but also in the realization of various social and cultural activities that involve the community. Here agroecology is practiced, which is not only made up of good agricultural practices, but it also has socio-cultural significance.
The Convivial Garden does not support monoculture, but biodiversity. In the four hectares of land of the property it is cultivated only and exclusively according to the criterion of seasonality. There are some selected crops, wild plants and fruit trees.
The collaboration between the garden and the pizzeria enhances the products of both and creates added value.
The proximity of the two Vesuvian activities gives Pizz’love and imagination the opportunity to have products that are always fresh and always in season, with an authentic flavor.
Many pizzas are thus created based on the availability of vegetables.
Salvatore Palma has agreed to respect the times of the earth, and for this reason it is the only restaurateur that the Garden has chosen to supply.
