Pummarola Fort Lauderdale – Pizza Napoletana

Pummarola Fort Lauderdale - Pizza Napoletana is a Pizza Place in Fort Lauderdale, FL, located at 620 W Las Olas Blvd. It serves as an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria offering pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, sides, and desserts. The establishment provides dine-in, delivery, takeout, and curbside service, along with pizza classes and catering. The menu is built around ingredients chosen to honor Neapolitan traditions, including plum tomatoes imported from Italy, whole milk mozzarella from Italian farmers, and Italian Polselli flour for the dough. Pizzas are baked in wood-fired ovens that are handcrafted in Italy. The broader brand is inspired by the recipes of Nonna Rosa, who founded the original Pummarola in Naples, Italy, in 1968. Her four grandchildren later worked together to reopen the brand in other locations to continue her legacy. A signature Fiat 500, a tribute to Rosa’s personal vehicle, is displayed inside the locations. The business holds a rating of 4.70.

The history of the brand traces back to Sunday feasts at Rosa Donna Rummo’s home in Naples, where she gathered friends, family, and neighbors. Known for traveling in a crimson Fiat 500, which locals called a "pummarola" for "tomato" in the Neapolitan dialect, she opened her restaurant just a few blocks from her home. For two decades, the original establishment served locals and tourists, with the red car often parked outside as a welcome sign. After Rosa passed away, the current locations continue the tradition of bringing people together at the table, sharing the taste of Naples through their food and service.
