When Passion for Neapolitan Pizza Meets Entrepreneurship
At NO.900, every pizza tells a story—a story of artisanal craftsmanship and a passion for Neapolitan tradition. Recently, Elle Québec highlighted this incredible culinary journey by showcasing three key figures behind the brand’s success.
A Vision of Authenticity
NO.900 co-founder Alexandre Brunet wanted to offer an experience that stayed true to its Italian roots. "We wanted to introduce Quebecers to Neapolitan expertise while showcasing the work of passionate artisans and celebrating the craft of the pizzaiolo in a warm and inviting setting," he explains in the article.
Mastering the Art of Pizza
To ensure that NO.900’s pizza meets true Neapolitan standards, they called upon Mirko D’Agata, a world-renowned master pizzaiolo. He emphasizes that the secret to an authentic Neapolitan pizza lies in the perfect harmony of simple, high-quality ingredients, a patiently worked dough, and the ancestral gestures of a pizzaiolo—masters of fire and tradition.
A Creative Twist
Innovation is also at the heart of NO.900’s DNA. Fiodar Huminski, an internationally trained chef and pizzaiolo, brings a modern touch by blending Italian, French, and even Asian influences. His goal? To surprise pizza lovers while staying true to the foundations of this iconic cuisine.
NO.900: Expansion and New Experiences
Today, NO.900 has grown beyond borders, with locations in Quebec, Ontario, and even Lyon, France. And starting in February 2025, there’s something new for pizza enthusiasts: Neapolitan pizza-making classes in Montreal, offering a unique opportunity to learn the secrets of this culinary art.
