Pizza Napoletana is authentic pizza from Naples, and we make it according to the generations-old technique....with just a little of our own twists here and there. Our dough is made in-house and fermented for a minimum of 24hrs to create a tasty and light base - minimal yeast so no bloating here. Then its hand-stretched, topped with quality ingredients imported from Italy AND sourced locally, and cooked at a fiery 400 degrees.We do other stuff as well - starters, sharers, salads, homemade desserts, and gelato.

    Highly recommended place with exceptional service and superb dining experience. I have celebrated different occasions here- birthdays, anniversaries etc with friends and family and I couldn't fault the consistency of service that GZ provides. I love the fact that GZ has special offers all the time such as the cocktail on special or the special price of 2 or 3 courses meal. My recent dining was an enjoyable one. My husband had the wagyu whilst I had the 3-course meal- it is definitely worth every $. We were seated perfectly to overlook the waters so that is a bonus! Until our next dining GZ! Thanks for the stalk of rose 🌹 that your lovely staff handed as we left. It truly made our day.
