Where to Find Authentic Neapolitan Pizza in Bangalore: Serious Slice’s ‘Natura di Napoli’

The Naples-inspired pizza kitchen launches a curated tasting menu rooted in Neapolitan tradition, featuring 72-hour fermented dough and flavours inspired by Naples’ five elements.

Serious Slice, a leading destination for Neapolitan pizza in Bangalore, celebrates World Pizza Day with the launch of Natura di Napoli, a special menu inspired by the natural elements and everyday life of Naples. The limited-edition menu reflects the city’s volcanic soil, coastal influences, open markets, fire, and night culture through authentic flavours and traditional technique.

Known for its commitment to authentic Neapolitan pizza in Bangalore, Serious Slice builds the menu around its signature 72-hour fermented dough. Each pizza is baked in under 90 seconds in a high-temperature oven, resulting in a soft, airy crust with a delicate char—true to Naples’ time-honoured pizza-making traditions.

Natura di Napoli is designed as a tasting journey, with each pizza representing a distinct element of Neapolitan life. Standout offerings include Terra di Fuoco, inspired by Campania’s volcanic land and made with San Marzano DOP tomatoes, fior di latte, smoked provola, basil, and olive oil. Another highlight, Luna di Limone, showcases a lighter, coastal flavour profile with Amalfi lemon cream, ricotta, honey, zucchini gialla, mozzarella, and tomato.

The menu invites diners to experience Neapolitan pizza in Bangalore as it is meant to be enjoyed—shared, savoured, and rooted in culture. By balancing simplicity, precision, and premium ingredients, Serious Slice positions pizza as a culinary craft rather than fast food.

Priced at ₹2,000 for two, Natura di Napoli is now available exclusively at Serious Slice, Cunningham Road. With locations in Cunningham Road and RR Nagar, Serious Slice continues to set a benchmark for authentic Neapolitan pizza in Bangalore, focusing on traditional fermentation, high-heat baking, and ingredient integrity.

Maverick & Farmer and Square Burgers & Co. Secure $1.5 Million Funding to Fuel Nationwide Expansion

Good Farmer Food Concepts, the Bengaluru-based company behind Maverick & Farmer Coffee and Square Burgers & Co., has raised $1.5 million in a Pre-Series A funding round, marking its first external capital raise. The round is led by CreedCap, with participation from Indian sports icons Rohan Bopanna and Rahul Dravid, along with Meraki Sport & Entertainment. The funding signals a new phase of growth for the homegrown food and beverage company.

The fresh capital will be used to expand Maverick & Farmer cafés across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Goa, and Bengaluru, strengthen production and R&D capabilities, and scale the brand’s growing retail business. Alongside cafés, Maverick & Farmer is investing heavily in its retail vertical, which includes curated specialty coffee roasts and brewing equipment designed for India’s rapidly growing home-brewing community. The company currently operates seven outlets across Bengaluru and Goa and plans to reach ten locations by the end of the year.

Founded by Ashish D’abreo, Sreeram Gangadharan, and Tej Thammaiah, Good Farmer Food Concepts has built its reputation on a product-first approach, combining experimentation with deep respect for craft. Maverick & Farmer is known for pushing boundaries in Indian coffee, while Square Burgers & Co. brings a fresh, health-forward take to fast food. Together, the brands reflect the founders’ focus on quality, innovation, and long-term brand building rather than rapid, unchecked expansion.

For co-founder Sreeram Gangadharan, the journey has always been about getting the basics right before scaling. “We focused first on building strong teams, solid operations, and clear brand identities. Once that foundation was in place, expanding and raising capital felt like the natural next step,” he shares. Each Maverick & Farmer café is designed to connect with its local community, while Square Burgers experiments with healthier fast-food formats without compromising on taste.

Launched in 2021, Maverick & Farmer Coffee is one of India’s early farm-to-cup specialty coffee brands, backed by a 140-acre coffee estate in Pollibetta, Coorg, where new brews and profiles are constantly tested. Beyond its cafés, the brand has built a strong B2B presence, supplying coffee to names like Second Cup Coffee, Magnolia Bakery, Courtyard Marriott, Lavonne, and Boston Consulting Group. With strong backing, a loyal community, and a clear vision, Good Farmer Food Concepts is now brewing its most ambitious chapter yet.
