About US

Pizza Shack is a new family run Pizza Restaurant & Takeaway in Central Dover.

Damian Smith (Head Chef / Co-Owner ) has worked in the Dover area for many years and as a huge fan off all things Pizza was frustrated at the lack of options for his favourite food in the Dover area. Honing his skills at home he has been cooking his favourite Neapolitan Pizza , creating amazing Pizzas using the best (mostly local) ingredients.

We hope you enjoy our Pizza’s as much as our family and friends do and we look forward to joining the growing food scene in Dover. We hope to see you soon.

What is a
Neapolitan Pizza

Neapolitan pizza is a type of pizza that originated in Naples, Italy. This style of pizza is prepared with simple and fresh ingredients.

Neapolitan pizza has a very thin crust at the base, with dough that puffs up around the sides and provides for a very airy crust. Because that crust is so light (even though quite large,) certain areas become charred very quickly, which is why it’s important not to overcook and completely burn this type of crust.

One of its defining characteristics is that there is often more sauce than cheese. This leaves the middle of the pie wet or soggy and not conducive to being served by the slice. Because of this, Neapolitan pizzas are generally pretty small (about 10 to 12 inches), making them closer to the size of a personal pizza.

Neapolitan pizzas are also cooked at very high temperatures (480c – 500c F) for no more than 90 seconds.
