Slice of Capanno
Two slices in under a year.
How a historic beach club gave birth to a gourmet pizzeria awarded by Gambero Rosso in under twelve months.
The insight
Not opening «another pizzeria», but extending a brand that already worked. In 2023 Slice of Capanno was born, a gourmet pizzeria and cocktail bar: Capanno's contemporary offshoot, founded by Cristiano Giacometti with Valerio Mazziotti.
The space
This is where Fabrizio Lentini comes in as project architect: architectural and interior design, construction management and the venue launch. A contemporary space designed as an experience — a bright room, a cocktail bar at the entrance, a visual identity you read before you even sit down.
The storytelling
The format also lives on narrative: a rotating drink list, mixology partnerships, a pop and recognisable tone on the coast. Pizza is the product, but the experience is the reason people come back.
The result
Less than a year after opening, Slice of Capanno earned two slices from Gambero Rosso (Pizzerie Guide 2025), with a score of 85: among the most recognised signature pizzerias on the Roman coast.
Why this is an INNESCO case
Slice proves the group's thesis: a business doesn't grow by chance. It grows when enterprise, space and storytelling work on the same system, at the same time. That is exactly what INNESCO brings to other entrepreneurs.
