Classic Neapolitan Cooking and Freshest Ingredients
Owners Gerry and Tammy Haight know the importance and value of using only the best ingredients. It makes a difference, and guests know it. That’s why Vespa Pizzeria was born from a vision to create an authentic Neapolitan-style pizza by incorporating traditional cooking methods and using only the freshest, highest quality ingredients.
The Neapolitan pizzas served at Vespa originated in Naples, Italy and are cooked in an Italian Mugiani wood fired oven. They have been using these ovens in Italy for over 200 hundred years! It is a very specific method of cooking in a oven reading a temperature of 750 degrees at all times. Wood is added to the oven throughout the day and night to keep this consistency. The pizzas are thinly crusted and cook very quickly and have to be constantly monitored so the pizzas are cooked with a slight charring and bubbling but not burnt.
Vespa has a menu based on Neapolitan influences using fresh ingredients. Our goal is to use local & seasonal ingredients when available. We serve natural & hormone free chicken, pork and beef.

a week agoThe chicken parm sandwich is one of my favorite comfort foods in the area! Unfortunately, tonight was the third time we had to wait nearly thirty minutes for our online takeout order. I have bad back pain, so standing and waiting has been an inconvenience, but maybe the average person doesn’t care. I don’t know. Whenever we dine in, it’s no problem at all. But the takeout has been consistently about ~30 min later than expected recently. But again, great staff and atmosphere!

2 months agoI like the atmosphere of this restaurant especially the outdoor seating under a large tree and the service is always great. It's just that the food is not what is expected each of the five times I've dined in or ordered take out. It may just be that I enjoy a crispier pizza... Ya know the kind that when you fold it the crust cracks and it folds in half. This pizza will just roll up on itself. You can literally roll it into a pinwheel if you wanted to. The wings were disappointing both times I've ordered them . The first time was better but tonight's order.. I wish I wouldn't have spent the money. They for some reason have the tase of chicken that has been boiled. They're crispy but have an odd flavor. The sauce was very minimal. I guess what I'm trying to say is; It's with the try but I just don't see myself returning any time soon.
