Kibbutz Afikim, Afikim

A Neapolitan pizzeria in Kibbutz Afikim, among the Jordan Valley's banana plantations and wheat fields, baking sourdough pizzas in a wood-fired oven built by Stefano Ferrara

Fresca makes Neapolitan pizza by the rules of Naples, its site says: a sourdough it has kept for 13 years, left to rise for about 72 hours, San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and cheeses with a DOP label. The pizzas bake for about 60 seconds at 450 degrees in a 2.5-tonne oven covered in mosaic in the colours of Naples, which Stefano Ferrara built for it from Vesuvius volcanic ash and which is fired with oak only. Beside the pizzas it serves cocktails, a wine list that is mostly Italian and desserts made in house. It opens for dinner from Monday to Thursday and on Saturday night, and for lunch on Friday, and takes table bookings on Tabit. Its site says the 50 Top Pizza guide named it a pizzeria to watch in 2024.
