Kesté[edit | edit source]
Kesté Pizza & Vino is a renowned pizzeria located in New York City, celebrated for its authentic Neapolitan pizza. The name "Kesté" translates to "this is it" in the Neapolitan dialect, reflecting the establishment's commitment to providing an exemplary pizza experience.
History[edit | edit source]
Kesté was founded by Roberto Caporuscio, a master pizzaiolo originally from Naples, Italy. Caporuscio's passion for pizza began in his youth, and he honed his skills in the art of pizza making in Italy before bringing his expertise to the United States. Kesté opened its doors in 2009 in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, quickly gaining a reputation for its dedication to traditional Neapolitan pizza techniques.
Pizza Making[edit | edit source]
The pizzas at Kesté are crafted using time-honored methods that adhere to the standards set by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN). This includes using a wood-fired oven, which reaches temperatures of up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing the pizzas to cook in about 90 seconds. The dough is made from a simple mixture of flour, water, salt, and yeast, and is left to rise for at least 24 hours to develop its characteristic texture and flavor.
Menu[edit | edit source]
Kesté offers a variety of pizzas, each showcasing the quality of its ingredients. The menu includes classic options such as the Margherita pizza, made with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and extra virgin olive oil. Other popular choices include the Marinara pizza, which is topped with tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and olive oil, and the Capricciosa pizza, featuring artichokes, mushrooms, prosciutto, and olives.
Atmosphere[edit | edit source]
The atmosphere at Kesté is warm and inviting, with a rustic interior that evokes the charm of a traditional Italian pizzeria. The open kitchen allows diners to watch the pizzaiolos at work, adding to the authentic dining experience.
Recognition[edit | edit source]
Kesté has received numerous accolades for its pizzas, often being listed among the best pizzerias in New York City. Its commitment to authenticity and quality has earned it a loyal following among both locals and visitors.
