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.

My late husband and I were in from the beginning of Zeugma. Now, many yrs later, the many outstanding experiences, it’s hard to rate any one factor above the others. The food of course is superb! The service! The beauty of the surroundings. But above ALL, it is the friends we made— some have moved on — some remain — some to be made! Zeugma treats us as family. 🙌🏼🙌🏾 A special haven of bliss. Thank you, Can, Bork, Bola, Johan and I’ll never forget Matt and Elif. Apologies to those not named here!

Excellent food as always, Chef came to table to explain certain things server could not. Pork chop is not to be missed; it’s the only restaurant I trust with that dish!
