## What makes EVO50 distinctive
- The name stands for "evoluzione" — the evolution of Neapolitan dough: a direct dough with a small percentage of pasta di riporto, giving a soft, light, easily digestible result.
- Toppings pair Campania DOP and Italian ingredients in combinations that go beyond the classics without betraying the tradition.

## Gluten-free
- Every pizza on the menu is available gluten-free
- Certified gluten-free bases by Amonoglù (Italian gluten-free specialist)
- Dedicated protocol: separate preparation station, single-use baking tray, base baked alone in the oven; rice flour (not wheat) on the classic station to limit airborne gluten
- Gluten-free bread made in-house, gluten-free dessert and gluten-free craft beer also available
- Open since 2019 with no cross-contamination incidents
- Not AIC-certified, and not a 100% gluten-free venue (pizzas with gluten are also served); guests with severe sensitivity are advised to call ahead
