Closed for Easter 2025

Dear customers, we will be closed for Easter this Sunday 20 April, as well as Wednesday 23 April and Thursday 24 April. We look forward to seeing you again from Friday 25 April at 18:00. La Corte Segreta wishes you a happy Easter. See you very soon.

Here is one of the latest photographs taken in our pizzeria, with the story behind it. Once again, we wish you a wonderful Easter.

"I placed a slice of Pizza Margherita Dei Savoia on glowing embers at the entrance to my wood-fired oven. Further back, the atmosphere inside the oven looks a little like the interior of a volcano.

I think this photograph can tell a story.

Amid this glowing intensity, the vivid green of the basil contrasts with the burning backdrop. Delicate yet vibrant, it symbolises freshness set against the power of fire: a balance of gentleness and strength. It reminds us that even in searing heat, nature can make its delicacy felt, giving the pizza a touch of life and authenticity."

I would also like to share a little insight into cooking with 100 % wood fire today.

Do you know what Guaiacol is?

Guaiacol forms when the intense heat of the fire naturally transforms the wood’s lignin into an aromatic compound. This fragrance is released inside a 100 % wood-fired oven and brushes the crusts and surfaces of the pizzas, giving them an extra layer of aromatic complexity.

At La Corte Segreta, we have a secret technique: an age-old method that brings out this distinctive aroma even more. It is a technique that is hardly used any more.

See you soon
