Traditional Neapolitan Pizzas

Authentic Neapolitan Pizza in Limerick, Inspired by the Best Pizza Traditions

At the very center of our kitchen stands a Valoriani oven, handcrafted in Tuscany by artisans who have perfected their craft over generations. This traditional wood-fired oven is at the core of our commitment to authentic Neapolitan pizza in Limerick, delivering the blistered crust, gentle char, and subtle smoky flavour you’d expect from a true Neapolitan pizzeria. It’s the foundation of the authentic pizza experience that many consider among the best pizza in Limerick.

While the oven provides the soul, our own homemade dough is the heart of what makes our pizza special. Every batch is made entirely in-house using a carefully balanced blend of flours, chosen to achieve both strength and delicacy. The dough is then given time to rest and develop through a 48-hour cold fermentation process, essential to traditional Neapolitan pizza. This slow fermentation process that develops deep flavor, a delicate tang, and a crust that’s light, airy, and satisfyingly chewy. Each pizza is a balance of tradition and technique, crafted with precision and served with pride.

Every pizza at Fordes Courtyard is a meeting of tradition and technique. From the first stretch of the dough to the final turn in the oven, our team works with precision and pride, ensuring each pie carries both authenticity and character. Topped with thoughtfully sourced ingredients and served fresh from the oven, our pizzas are more than a meal. They’re an experience designed to be savored.
