It has officially become the first pizzeria in India to receive the prestigious certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN).<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Founded in Naples in 1984, the AVPN is the global authority that safeguards the tradition of true Neapolitan pizza, with fewer than a thousand certified pizzerias across sixty countries. This recognition places Si Nonna\u2019s among an elite global community devoted to preserving the centuries-old art of Neapolitan sourdough pizza making.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The certification confirms that Si Nonna\u2019s sourdough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/the-journey-of-pizzas-the-crowd-favourite-food-has-changed-a-lot-over-the-years-8377003.html\">pizzas<\/a> meet every international standard set by AVPN \u2014 from the dough\u2019s 24-hour fermentation to ingredient quality, oven design, and baking technique. The recipe itself traces its origins to a serendipitous encounter with Nonna Galliano\u2019s original mother dough in Naples \u2013 the spark that inspired founder Ayush Jatia to bring authentic Neapolitan pizza to India.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cEarning the AVPN certification is a landmark moment not only for Si Nonna\u2019s but also for the evolution of pizza culture in India,&#8221; said Ayush Jatia, Founder of Si Nonna\u2019s. \u201cIt reaffirms our promise of bringing true Neapolitan flavours and techniques to Indian diners\u2026 This recognition reflects the hard work, dedication, and passion of our team, and it motivates us to continue sharing the joy of authentic Italian sourdough pizza with every guest who walks through our doors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Every stage of Si Nonna\u2019s process reflects meticulous craftsmanship \u2013 from using natural yeast and Italian flour to baking pizzas in custom-built ovens lined with tiles made from Vesuvian lava. The certification stands as both a validation and a symbol of the brand\u2019s passion for authenticity.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cWe are delighted to welcome Si Nonna\u2019s into the global AVPN family,&#8221; said Antonio Pace, President of AVPN. \u201cTheir respect for Neapolitan tradition in a market as diverse and fast-growing as India demonstrates the universal appeal of our heritage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">With over 35 outlets across eight major cities, including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, and Bangalore, Si Nonna\u2019s continues to lead India\u2019s evolving gourmet culture, where Italian heritage meets Indian innovation, one sourdough pizza at a time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lifestyle Desk\" title=\"Lifestyle Desk\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,UklGRgIDAABXRUJQVlA4IPYCAAAwJQCdASosAcgAPmEwlkekIyIhJDcIkIAMCWlu4XVRG2jfiezIohx5359wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuC9wXuCq2ceFaLiV1H\/8x9KwXf\/OJLzd1lEVyRpIJzRpHhHXSnGBod9IfYFu9Ruvr0h55Rv1jwdfEvYf5d4GaFyCsqZGWdaid2H9uJlL8XfDpo4g+wC3ExOPLYgOdJ4t1Mblm4ysYoXF3UiI\/9o2hGBY87tiBEHfdTovs\/BCUUX7JmRRDV8ns9emZLbbgGLReXrq58pYe3e+cWwEE6VkgKz9XtXMNjKSc5T3w+yapJRHVhcUQ47hE3tkyf2QSiF+YwKTtepaied+fcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7gvcF7fgAA\/v9y6AAAtG7FCnlC644LTxONH+0DNmaexB4oaAsZzGu\/EonTQ3s6CyPU09LPMFvfmIHni8v9IjHEBaNnLXPrqmWQ5bnizZgGM6Dqz0t2UEqzewqsz5Yq8Xksvl8hLAAcYVn\/kYLMj0KB\/KSMB3q6y8CZTcEz4OrUgbMbd8Zb1kQlSEVdGHtMMFj69samn9sIUV8x7MXPx5K4u\/jZ603Gm8N6Qwhe4FxNhjInXZO8aRl7T3dnNp6b8nkjX3MoF\/PqV+wnu14N6gCHHg58HAlI8rwKTacUs0dxcaYP5oVoCMa+Wg13ibQGDE9IW16Mp9V+3SBCD1p5zrCGXcG3CYpUJi0WPhKZFr2sF8HRNjNsEnJduIFUAhoQdZxL5hQe5AS0QaTvrxdQ5z1hw1kwJ5B2nQkPod8XD6Y3E4eJMn8tr0BCibcIusPCYW\/4+G\/Yeuobu\/pr82bvxdoSZau6Ow6+Xjyq2pr2q953XKusKZQ30SJx5oE8NuUARh6i4MjKzHe9TFXjvwJhq5g0AWjhEsVVBk+JQLUDtYLpKb9AbKWeNzZhAZLYjWS474VUOSu6MqC5ItYIQIvL+wGTcSajbQAAAAAAAA==\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/lifestyle-desk-19049.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Lifestyle Desk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our life needs a bit of style to get the perfect zing in the daily routine.
