La Corte Segreta Opens: A New Osteria & Pizzeria in Casteau, Soignies

Nov 6, 2024
2 min read

From the age of three, standing beside my father and watching in wonder as pizzas passed above me; then at five, climbing onto a little stool to see the flames and pizzas in the oven, fascinated by this spectacle of fire and cooking; and on to my first creations at seven — my life has been devoted to the art of pizza.


After years of experience and passion, I am finally opening my own pizzeria, La Corte Segreta.

On 6 November 2024 at 17:00, La Corte Segreta opens its doors to reveal a place where every detail tells a story of passion, tradition and culinary mastery.


Created by me, Salvatore — formerly pizzaiolo at La Bottega Della Pizza from 2015 to 2017, and named best pizzaiolo in Hainaut for three consecutive years (2015, 2016, 2017) — La Corte Segreta is a place where tradition and authenticity reign. It is the expression of a lifetime of expertise and dedication.


Those who know me know that photography is one of my many passions. For this first post, I chose to capture my oven, IGNIS PVGNAX, and a Margherita pizza emerging from the flames.


But beyond simply taking a photograph, I wanted to recreate that childhood moment when, at five, I climbed onto my little stool to peer inside the oven. That magical moment, lasting only a few seconds, lit a flame in me that has never gone out. It is the same fire, the same passion, that I share with you today at La Corte Segreta.


Get ready for a unique experience!
