About
La Taverna di Pulcinella is a beloved Neapolitan pizzeria nestled on Via Lamarmora in the coastal town of Follonica. The restaurant keeps the authentic spirit of Neapolitan pizza alive by baking each pie in a traditional wood‑fire oven at the recommended 485 °C for just 60–90 seconds, ensuring a perfectly crisp crust and heavenly aroma.
