Rural Pizzeria is a benchmark for modern Neapolitan pizza in Brazil. We use Italian flour and tomatoes, an AVPN-certified wood-fired oven, and ingredients from small Brazilian producers.
Our second location, Casa Rural, is a space for immersion and exchange. Housed in a restored 1950s home, it offers a unique experience in the art of pizza.
Recognized by Paladar/Estadão as one of the 10 best Margherita pizzas in SP.
We are also the first Neapolitan pizzeria in Sorocaba to receive certification from the Accademia Nazionale de Pizza Doc, in Italy.
