The Truth About San Marzano Tomatoes
news
March 4, 2025

San Marzano tomatoes have a special place in Italian cuisine. Their naturally sweet flavor, rich texture, and low acidity make them perfect for sauces, especially for traditional Neapolitan pizza. But with so many brands using the name, it’s not always clear which ones are truly authentic.

Genuine San Marzano tomatoes come from the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino region near Mount Vesuvius in Italy. The unique volcanic soil and climate give them their distinct taste, and they must be DOP-certified to meet strict quality standards.

At Pizza Beppe, we care deeply about using the best ingredients to stay true to the traditions of Neapolitan pizza. That’s why we follow the guidelines of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), ensuring that everything from our dough to our tomatoes meets the standards set in Naples. Using real, certified San Marzano tomatoes helps us create the flavors we love and want to share with you.

For us, it’s not about being fancy, it’s about keeping things real and honoring the craft of pizza-making the way it’s meant to be.
