With two resoundingly successful establishments in Mumbai, nestled in Andheri West and Lower Parel, Nonna’s is now on a thrilling journey of expansion, with Pune as its latest destination. Pune, known for its sophisticated and food-savvy audience, is the perfect canvas for Nonna’s to paint its culinary artistry, offering a selection of unparalleled and uniquely crafted delights that are sure to captivate the discerning palates of this dynamic city.

Step inside Nonna’s and you’ll be transported to a charming Italian Trattoria. The 92-seater restaurant exudes a relaxed and welcoming vibe, providing the perfect setting for savoring authentic Italian flavors. With an open-kitchen design, you can witness the art of pizza-making, adding an element of theatre to your dining experience.

Founded by Ayush Jatia, this pizzeria is a culinary journey to Naples, Italy. Nonna’s sourdough starter comes from a mother dough that dates to the 18^th century and has been nurtured and celebrated by generations of the Galliano family of Naples and it carries tradition, history, and nostalgia at its core. 

The dough is made fresh on-site every day and uses a unique blend of flour to create just the right balance of protein and moisture for that perfect Neapolitan bite. Unlike dough that uses commercially produced yeast that significantly hastens the fermentation process for quicker results, our dough is naturally fermented for 48 hours using Nonna’s heirloom “mother dough” and is then baked in our oven at 400°c for precisely 90 seconds. The slow levitation and blast cooking process locks in the flour’s natural aroma and moisture, giving a soft and easily digestible crust. As a result, the gentle fermentation preserves all of the vital nutrients and breaks down the sugar and gluten, making the food light on the stomach and beneficial to the gut.

Nonna’s menu is an absolute delight. The star dishes of the repertoire are the sourdough pizzas, particularly Pizza No. 2, Pizza No.3, and Pizza No. 6, which are the crowd favorites. The menu caters to a wide spectrum of taste preferences while unwaveringly upholding authenticity. At the heart of it all, you’ll discover hand-stretched Neapolitan pizzas that steal the spotlight. These delectable creations are thoughtfully complemented by an array of fried nibbles, refreshing salads, oven-baked starters, and divine desserts, including Eggplant Parmigiana, Garlic Sourdough, and Focaccia with Tomato and Mozzarella. And, of course, you can’t leave without savoring Nonna’s Famous Tiramisu.

Nonna’s pizzeria presents a diverse selection of beverages, including wines, Aperol, Campari, and beer, all thoughtfully curated to harmonize perfectly with your meal. 

What truly sets Nonna’s apart is its commitment to accommodating diverse dietary preferences. With offerings tailored for Jains and Vegans, and the flexibility to personalize your pizzas to your exact liking, Nonna’s ensures every guest’s culinary desires are met.

At Nonna’s, the commitment to authenticity extends to their ingredients, where the brand sources a blend of imported and local ingredients to craft the Neapolitan pizzas, creating a symphony of flavors that transport you to Italy with every bite.

Ayush Jatia: Founder says “Nonna’s has embarked on a mission to bring Pune the ultimate pizza experience, boasting our signature sourdough pizzas which have a legacy of a 500-year-old recipe. We believe in crafting exceptional dining experiences, and our passion for perfection shines through our artisanal creations. With a blend of traditional techniques and innovative flavors, we are sure that Pune will love Nonna’s as much as it’s been adored in Mumbai.”

Come to Nonna’s to experience pizza in its true, traditional form.
