About us.

In the beginning there were two friends, one old house and one pizza oven in Ihamaru, Põlva County, but now there are two friends, two old houses and two pizza ovens, because we have made it to Tartu too, to Vallikraavi street.

The story actually begins with a forester and a farmer who wanted to start making sausages and preserves, but it turned out the way it always does, and so here we are. In 2019 we bought the old Ihamaru tavern building, but it came with a pizza oven that pulled us into a new and extremely exciting world – the world of pizza. Completely uncharted territory for us, but luckily the internet and books have been invented, and by experimenting and testing we had got far enough by spring 2020 to dare to offer our experiments to others too. It was a proud feeling when people ate and praised them.

As the saying goes, praise the fool and the fool will do it, and so we did. We brought a Stefano Ferrara pizza oven from Naples to Tartu, we make the dough with Caputo flour from Italy and the sauce from San Marzano tomatoes. The mozzarella is local, from Viinamärdi farm. We pay great attention to the quality of our ingredients and, besides Italian producers, we use a lot of Estonian produce, which is why the phrase that describes us best is Neapolitan-style pizza the Ihamaru way.
