About Us

The Verace Pizza Napoletana Association is an international trade association, founded in 1984 in Naples, Italy by Antonio Pace. Its purpose is to promote the culinary tradition of the Neapolitan pizza. To this end, we provide training in the production of Neapolitan pizza and certification for those pizzeria/restaurants which produce Neapolitan pizza.

Mr. Pace struggled for years to have Neapolitan pizza recognized by the Italian government as a "DOC" (d'origine controllata) product. The DOC designation was already in place for other products such as Chianti or certain cheeses which are of regional origin. It is similar to the AOC designation in  France for such regional products as champagne , etc.
