Chef Susanna Di Cosimo, who leads the kitchen at Pizzeria da Susy, emphasizes their commitment to traditional pizza-making. "We use a gas and wood-fired oven and our dough is crafted from imported Molino Caputo flour, which goes through a slow fermentation process at a controlled temperature,” Chef Susy explains. Pizzeria da Susy’s menu features a wide range of pizzas – from classics like Margherita and Quattro Formaggi to unique creations like spinach, pumpkin sauce, smoked salmon, beetroot, nuts, and ‘nduja.
However, this is not the first time that da Susy has gained recognition for its pizzas. Back in March, the Gurugram-based establishment earned the 13th position on the 50 best pizzerias in Asia Pacific for 2024. At the time, the official website of the rankings page wrote, "This venue today offers a true glimpse of Neapolitan gastronomic tradition. On the menu, you'll find a few appetizers of good quality and pizzas. There's a selection of toppings ranging from classic to slightly more creative."
