Neapolitan-style pizza · Central Florida
Five pizzas and a short list of ingredients we're proud to name out loud. Blistered crust, San Marzano tomato, fresh mozzarella, and a signature finished with hot honey.
Why Crave
We'd rather make five pizzas you crave than fifty you forget. Every pie starts the same way, then gets out of the way of a few ingredients that deserve the spotlight.
Sweet, low-acid tomatoes crushed into a sauce that tastes like tomatoes. The base of four of our five pizzas.
Milky and soft, melting into pools across the pie instead of a blanket over it.
Sweet heat drizzled over soppressata. The reason The Crave is called The Crave.
Fragrant, bright and always fresh. The finishing touch on the Marinara, the Margherita and The Crave.
Signature pizza
Spicy Hot honey brings the heat.
San Marzano tomato and fresh mozzarella, layered with soppressata and finished with a drizzle of hot honey and fresh basil. Sweet, salty, a little heat. Give in to the crave.
Good to know
It comes to you whole and soft in the middle. That is the style, and there is a trick or two to it.
The first few minutes are the best ones. The base is firmest straight out of the oven and softens as it sits, so eat before you photograph, not after.
Fresh mozzarella and San Marzano tomato carry water, and a hot, fast bake leaves the centre tender. A soft middle is the style, not an underbake.
Both are normal in Naples. Standing up, fold a slice in half and then again, the way they eat it on the street. Sitting down, work from the middle outward with cutlery.
The puffy edge is the cornicione, and it is where the dough shows its work. The dark blistered spots are supposed to be there, so do not leave them on the plate.

Good to know
Plenty of New York-style slices around here. Neapolitan-style is a different thing, and it's what we make.
A thin, soft center with a puffy, blistered crust, baked fast at high heat with a few simple toppings. It's lighter than a New York slice and meant to be eaten fresh, folded or with a knife and fork.
Not yet. Crave is mobile: we bring the oven to pop-ups, markets and private events around Central Florida. There is no storefront to visit, so watch this page for where we will be next.
Central Florida. We serve Haines City, Winter Haven, Kissimmee, Auburndale, Lake Wales and the surrounding Polk County area through pop-ups, markets and private events.
Because of what goes on it and how it bakes. Fresh mozzarella and San Marzano tomato carry water, and a hot, fast bake leaves the centre tender while the rim puffs and blisters. Fold a slice or use a knife and fork. More on eating one.
No. Our pizzas are Neapolitan-style: smaller, softer and lighter than a New York slice, with a blistered crust and simple toppings like San Marzano tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil.
