Persona Wood Fired Pizzeria is the only "Create Your Own" concept of its kind that was developed by two Chefs - one classically trained and the other an Italian Pizzaiolo and World Pizza Champion. Persona's exceptional quality starts with our fresh and extremely high quality ingredients. We craft an authentic Neapolitan pizza from imported "00" flour imported from Naples, Italy. The vine ripe plum tomatoes grown for our tomato sauce are sourced from the San Joaquin Valley. Our hand-made meatballs, sausage and sauces have all won gold medal acclaim worldwide, and we think your taste buds will agree. You can choose from one of our chef inspired specialty pizzas or create your own with over 30 toppings to choose from. Our expert pizza makers will create your pizza just the way you like it. Your imagination and creativity is the only limit! Once your pizza assembly is complete, we bake it in one of our imported Italian Marra Forni wood fired ovens. At 800 degrees, 90 seconds is all it takes to produce a pizza that is crispy and chewy in the Neapolitan tradition. Craving something from the garden? Our freshly tossed salads are a great complement to your wood fired pizza. Our award- winning dressings are all made from scratch. Complete your experience with our rich gelato hand-made locally by an Austrian-trained gelato chef.
