Experience the absolute discipline of a true Neapolitan pizzeria right on the sands of Paje beach. The pizza menu at Kaio is built on an uncompromising foundation: a slow, 24-hour fermented dough crafted from imported Italian “00” flour, hand-stretched to order, and fired at a blistering 450°C in our state-of-the-art Italian electric oven.
Masterfully engineered from the ground up by two visiting Italian chefs, our pizza program honors strict old-world standards, from the tactile feel of the hand-stretch to the precise balance of sauce and cheese. Explore our full selection, where time-honored Italian staples meet vibrant, day-boat seafood inspirations from the Zanzibar lagoon.
We begin with fine Italian “00” flour, water, sea salt, and a small amount of fresh yeast. Mixed with care in the evening, the dough rests and slow-ferments for at least 24 hours before it is portioned and opened. The long fermentation gives the crust its authentic character: light, beautifully blistered, deeply flavored, and effortless to digest. We never use a rolling pin; every base is hand-stretched exclusively with the fingertips, just as our chefs taught us.
Our pizzas are baked in a state-of-the-art, high-end Italian electric pizza oven, the exact kind favored by modern, serious pizzerias across Italy. Operating at a blistering 400°C to 450°C at the dome, it mirrors the intense radiant heat of a traditional wood-fired setup.
At this temperature, a pizza cooks to perfection in just 60 to 90 seconds. The undercarriage gets its authentic dark leopard spotting, the crust puffs and blisters at the edges, and the center stays slightly soft and foldable. The Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana formally certifies electric-oven pizzerias operating to this high standard, ensuring flawless consistency, precision, and temperature control without compromising on authentic results.
