🍕❤️ A LITTLE UPDATE FROM AL FORNO

Unfortunately, Al Forno will be CLOSED this weekend — Friday, Saturday & Sunday — due to illness. 🤒

Sometimes even the pizzaioli need a little time to recover! 🇮🇹❤️‍🩹

We’re going to rest, recharge and do our very best to be back next week, ready to fire up the wood-fired oven and make your favourite pizzas again. 🔥🍕

We’re very sorry for any inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding and support.

Stay tuned for updates about next week. 🤞🍕

Take care, amici, and hopefully we’ll see you very soon! ❤️🇮🇹

🍕🇮🇹 WEEKEND RULE #1: Don’t waste good free time doing dishes. 😜

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are for doing the things you actually enjoy… and somewhere between relaxing, exploring Golden Bay and catching up with your favourite people, there should definitely be PIZZA. 🔥🍕

At Al Forno, we’ll handle the flour, the dough, the toppings and the roaring wood fire.

Your job? Choose the pizza and enjoy it. 🤌😄

🇮🇹 TONIGHT’S BIG QUESTION:
What are you making for dinner?

…Actually, don’t answer that. 😂

🍕 PIZZA. You’re having pizza.

Because it’s the weekend, the kitchen deserves a night off, and somewhere in Pohara there’s a wood-fired oven working very hard to make your evening better. 🔥🤌

Al Forno is OPEN Friday, Saturday & Sunday!

Bring the famiglia.
Bring your friends.
Bring that person who always says “I’m not that hungry” and then eats half your pizza. 👀🍕

🍕☀️ Guess what, Golden Bay?

After last night’s wild rain, the sun hasn’t completely returned… but here in Pohara we’re already enjoying a few beautiful raggi di sole (rays of sunshine). 🇮🇹☀️

And you know what pairs perfectly with a little sunshine? A hot, authentic wood-fired pizza! 🔥🍕

Whether you’re warming up after the storm or just want a cozy night without cooking, we’ve got dinner sorted.
