Via Tribunali - Munkkiniemi
The 33rd best pizza chain in the world is coming to the idyllic Munkkiniemi, as Via Tribunali opens its doors in February 2024 on Huopalahdentie. As a pioneer of Neapolitan pizza culture in Finland, we serve authentic and certified Neapolitan artisan pizza, honoring centuries-old traditions.
Pizzeria Via Tribunali – Munkkiniemi
In true Neapolitan pizzeria style, Via Tribunali follows a first-come, first-served model, meaning table reservations are very limited. Essentially, you can always eat at Via Tribunali whenever you like. If there’s no table available, you can relax for a moment at the cocktail bar with an Italian espresso or a refreshing Aperol Spritz, enjoying the company of your friends, because togetherness is the most important thing in pizza culture. A table will free up soon!
Authentic Neapolitan pizza, honoring tradition
The heart of Via Tribunali is the Neapolitan pizza oven, a massive structure weighing several tons that is heated to over 450°C (850°F) with an open flame. The oven has an igloo-like shape: a low opening and a dome-shaped roof. This allows the heat to circulate evenly within. The baking time is short, only 60 seconds, ensuring the toppings remain juicy and the crust bakes to a perfect fluffiness. At Via Tribunali, the pizza-making process follows over 200-year-old Neapolitan traditions. These steps are repeated every time, without exception. Once you taste it, you’ll understand why.
Via Tribunali is certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the official governing body of Neapolitan pizza. There are only around 400 certified restaurants outside Italy. This organization ensures, through strict criteria, that the world’s most authentic and delicious pizza traditions are preserved, even here in the far north. And that’s a good thing, because nothing beats Neapolitan pizza!
**A menu like in Naples**
Via Tribunali’s menu offers a wide selection of classics such as Margherita, Con Salame, and Diavola. There are also more trendy options if you’ve already tried the classics. Every pizza is handmade using the finest Italian ingredients: Cesolan flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and rich, creamy mozzarella cheese. The pizza toppings are chosen to complement each other, with no single flavor overpowering the others. Neapolitan pizza is far from fast food – it focuses on creating a delicious taste with harmonious toppings, with the fluffy crust providing the foundation for the flavor experience. In addition to mouth-watering pizzas, Via Tribunali offers a wide range of Italian starters and desserts.
