Roberta Esposito’s journey into the world of pizza began in the family restaurant, La Contrada, in Aversa. Though originally a maître d’, she spent years observing, tasting, and quietly dreaming of pizza as something to savour and reimagine—not just eat.

When the kitchen slowed, she would make herself a pizza, unknowingly shaping her future. That private ritual soon became a public craft. With her brother Alessio handling the kitchen, Roberta honed her focus on dough, flavour and local ingredients. Together, they merged their ideas—but it’s Roberta’s pizza that now draws guests to La Contrada. Balancing softness and crunch, her creations reflect Campania’s heritage with a modern edge, especially in her beloved takes on the Margherita.
