Caputo 00 Flour

Caputo 00 Flour is the Italian flour to end all flours.  The King of flours when it comes to making pizza, and especially when it comes to making authentic Pizza Napoletana.  Authentic, to us, means using only the finest ingredients, which is exactly what Caputo 00 flour is.  The “00” classification refers to how finely the flour is milled, and is an indication of the highest quality possible.  Consider the Caputo’s “00” status the flour equivalent to the DOCG status of an Italian wine.  Or like the “00” spy status of James Bond; Caputo is the top (not so secret) agent of all Italian flours.

Caputo flour is made with the 100% of the best grains (no additives), and is the Holy Grail to pizza makers because of it.  Molino Caputo keep an extraordinarily close eye on their flour production, importing flours from all over the world, carefully monitoring every aspect of the flour using electronic ovens, and making miniscule adjustments to keep their high quality flour incredibly consistent. Having a gluten content of only 11%-12% keeps the flour light, which translates spectacularly into the lightness of our well made Naples style pizza.   The result is a dough with enough elasticity to be shaped into our thin, Napoletana style pizza, but enough resistance to keep a beautifully risen crust.

After just three minutes of being cooked at 800°F in our all wood burning oven, the Caputo comes to life in the form of truly authentic Pizza Napoletana.  Made with the finest Caputo “00” flour, topped with the freshest ingredients, and made with the true spirit of Naples in mind, we’re proud to serve you what we (and many others) honestly consider to be “The Best Pizza in New Jersey.”
