SPSCA Members' Tour of Tutta Bella Culinary Innovation Hub April 27, 2025

A heartfelt grazie mille to CEO Joe Fugere and the amazing team at Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria for welcoming SPSCA members to their Culinary Innovation Hub in SODO! We had an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how this local gem crafts more than 40,000 pizzas a week, along with many classic Italian favorites—pasta, salads, and tiramisu—using only the highest quality ingredients, all while honoring the Neapolitan tradition of being fatto a mano (made by hand). We saw the three Italian pizza ovens named after Fugere's mother, grandmother and great-grandmother that produce all those pizzas.

It was fascinating to hear the stories of how Tutta Bella pivoted during the pandemic to provide restaurant-quality food initially to local supermarkets, and how the business has grown since. It’s truly inspiring to witness such cutting-edge innovation rooted in authentic Italian craftsmanship, right here in our Seattle community. Tutta Bella lives up to its name -- “Everything is beautiful” -- by sharing their delicious creations across more than 30 states nationwide!
