Two years later, she made the bold decision to settle in New Delhi, where she initially ran a travel agency catering to Italian tourists eager to explore the wonders of India.

 

When the COVID-19 pandemic brought global travel to a standstill, Susy embraced a new path, turning her passion for cooking into a flourishing venture. In 2021, she launched Pizzeria da Susy in Gurugram, infusing the city with the authentic spirit of Neapolitan pizza—crafted with time-honoured techniques and the finest Italian ingredients.

 

But Susy’s culinary creativity doesn’t stop at tradition. Her menu boldly explores unexpected flavor pairings—like the vibrant combination of spinach, zucchini, and pumpkin sauce—introducing Indian diners to exciting tastes rarely found on local pizza menus. This inventive approach perfectly balances innovation with deep respect for Italy’s rich gastronomic heritage.

 

Today, Pizzeria da Susy boasts two thriving locations in Gurugram and has earned praise from both Indian food lovers and international critics alike. Susy’s journey continues to inspire, as she masterfully blends authenticity and imagination, delivering a true slice of Naples—with a uniquely Susy twist—to the heart of India.
