Authentic Wood-Fired Neapolitan Pizza & Italian Cuisine in Nantucket
Founded in 2001, Pi Pizzeria has dedicated itself to preserving traditional Neapolitan pizza-making techniques while incorporating our own unique touches to create an authentic Italian dining experience. Our commitment to quality begins with fresh dough prepared daily, house-made sauce using imported San Marzano tomatoes, and whole milk mozzarella grated fresh each morning. We utilize Nantucket's only commercial wood-fired oven, reaching temperatures of 900 degrees to achieve perfectly charred, Neapolitan-style pizzas. Our menu evolves nightly with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, reflecting our deep connection to the island community. The dining room's intimate atmosphere is enhanced by the aromas of wood-fired pizzas and simmering tomato sauce, while our Italian-inspired bar offers specialty cocktails, Italian wines, and craft beers.With over two decades of experience, our team has cultivated a reputation for delivering genuine Italian flavors in a welcoming, casual setting. We maintain rigorous standards for ingredient quality and preparation methods, ensuring every dish aligns with traditional Italian culinary principles while meeting modern expectations for freshness and presentation. Our dedication to authenticity extends to our service approach, which balances professionalism with the warmth and hospitality characteristic of Italian culture.
