• Pizzeria • Montclair
Booked 11 times today
At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

    I loved La Fortaleza , it was my second time there but my first time on the second floor. As always the decor is amazing and just adds to the vibrant vibes. The food was delicious and it came out so quick. Drinks were fantastic as always!! I was celebrating my birthday with a friends dinner and one of my friends mentioned to the waitress that it was my birthday and the staff was absolutely amazing!! They brought me La Fortaleza Happy Birthday sombrero and their famous ice cream and piñata desert which was super delicious and I’m pretty sure it had a gansito in it!! Loved it!! Then someone came over with a camera to take some pics of me and my group and towards the end I bought two of the photos - they were beautiful and a great way to remember such a good night. Thank you to La Fortaleza for making it a good night with good food and drinks.
