Since 18 June 2022 we've been making Neapolitan-style pizza in Wola. No shortcuts, no compromises.
When we started, the heart of our kitchen was an oven built by the Italian master Stefano Ferrara — a legendary Neapolitan craftsman whose family has been building ovens for the world's best pizzerias for generations. Hence the name of our pizzeria: Czerwony Stefan — "Red Stefan".
In time we moved to an even better solution: an Izzo Forni oven. It holds more pizzas at once, keeps a steadier temperature and is practically indestructible. That matters to us — with this many orders there's no room for breakdowns. The red stayed. And that's the point.
Ingredients straight from Italy — twice a week
Mozzarella, tomatoes, olive oil, cured meats — we order every key ingredient twice a week from trusted suppliers who bring them directly from Italy. That way we know that what reaches your plate is fresh and authentic.
Why twice a week? Because freshness has an expiry date. Rather than ordering less often in bigger batches, we order more often and in smaller amounts — so that what lands on your plate is always the best we have.
Dough that matures for 84 hours
Neapolitan pizza has its own rules, and the most important one is time. Our dough matures for at least 84 hours — almost four full days — before it goes into the oven. That isn't an accident, it's a philosophy.
Long fermentation brings real benefits you can taste in every bite:
Easier to digest — long fermentation breaks down the gluten, making the dough far gentler on the stomach
Lighter — 70% hydration makes the pizza lighter than conventionally baked dough
Deeper flavour — natural fermentation builds an aromatic complexity you simply cannot get in two hours
Crisp edges, soft centre — the signature structure of true Neapolitan pizza
Come and see us at Giełdowa 4 — pizza, drinks and small private parties
Our place in Warsaw's Wola district is a warm, atmospheric space — perfect for meeting friends, family lunches or winding down after work. We wanted a visit here to be a complete experience:
A full, well-stocked bar: alongside great pizza we offer a wide choice of drinks — from craft beers and carefully selected wines to spirits (vodka, whiskey). Our bartender will happily mix you a classic or one of our own signature cocktails.
Small private parties and bookings: the cosy character of the restaurant makes it an ideal place for small celebrations, anniversaries or private gatherings. We take bookings for groups of up to 18 people, with privacy, professional service and a menu your guests will love. We're open Monday to Saturday 12:00–22:00, and Sunday 12:00–21:00.
Delivery that takes pizza seriously
We don't use third-party couriers. We have our own drivers, trained in how to handle a pizza on its way to you. Sounds like a detail? It isn't. Pizza is a delicate thing. Bad transport can ruin even the best-baked dough. That's why we use specialist thermal bags that hold the right temperature far longer than standard ones. On larger orders we add moisture absorbers so the boxes don't go soggy. And on big orders every box is labelled with the name of the pizza inside — so nobody has to guess.
100 pizzas? That's a normal order for us. We work with companies and corporations from the office buildings around Wola. Some of the world's biggest brands trust us with their training days, events, team gatherings and company parties. A large order isn't an exception here, it's everyday routine: every box is labelled with the name of the pizza, we fit the delivery time around you — we can deliver at 10:00 or at 23:00, even outside the restaurant's normal opening hours — and on larger orders we always confirm the details with you personally.
Love Neapolitan pizza? You'll love Czerwony Stefan!
