The story of Salvatore is one of passion, tradition, and innovation. From our humble beginnings in Naples, Italy, to becoming Quebec City's fastest pizza delivery service.
Marco Rossi grew up in Naples, Italy, where pizza isn't just food—it's a way of life. As a child, he spent countless hours in his grandmother's kitchen, watching her prepare traditional Neapolitan pizzas in a wood-fired oven built by his grandfather.
After studying culinary arts in Italy and working in renowned pizzerias across Europe, Marco moved to Canada in 2015 with a dream: to bring authentic Neapolitan pizza to Quebec City, but with a twist—it would be delivered faster than anyone thought possible without sacrificing quality.
"In Naples, pizza is about perfection and patience," Marco explains. "But in today's world, people want that perfection delivered quickly. I was determined to solve this challenge."
Marco Rossi arrives in Quebec City with his family's century-old pizza recipes and a vision to revolutionize pizza delivery.
Marco spends a year perfecting his dough recipe for the Canadian climate and developing a system that would allow for both quality and speed.
Salvatore opens its first location in Place de la Cité, featuring a custom-built wood-fired oven imported from Italy.
After refining our operations, we introduce our now-famous 30-minute delivery guarantee, becoming the fastest pizza delivery service in Quebec City.
Salvatore wins "Best Pizza" and "Best Delivery Service" in the Quebec City Food Awards.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we expand our delivery zones and implement contactless delivery to continue serving our community safely.
We introduce gluten-free and plant-based options to accommodate diverse dietary needs without compromising on flavor.
We launch our eco-friendly packaging program and begin partnerships with local farmers to source ingredients.
Salvatore continues to grow while staying true to our original mission: delivering authentic, high-quality pizza in record time.
Our dough is made using imported 00 flour and undergoes a 72-hour cold fermentation process. This extended fermentation is crucial for developing the complex flavors and the perfect texture that balances crispness and chewiness.
We import San Marzano tomatoes from Italy for our sauce and use a combination of fresh local ingredients and imported Italian specialties. Every morning, we prep all ingredients by hand to ensure maximum freshness and flavor.
Our pizzas are cooked in authentic wood-fired ovens at 850°F for just 90 seconds. This high-heat, quick-cooking method is essential for achieving the characteristic leopard spotting on the crust while keeping the interior soft and airy.
We've developed a proprietary delivery system that uses specially designed thermal bags and optimized routing algorithms. Our delivery vehicles are equipped with warming technology that maintains the perfect temperature without making the crust soggy.
We stay true to traditional Neapolitan pizza-making techniques while adapting to modern service expectations. Every pizza we make honors the centuries-old traditions of Naples.
We believe exceptional food shouldn't require a long wait. Our entire operation is designed to deliver quality pizza quickly, respecting our customers' time without compromising on taste.
We're proud to be part of the Quebec City community. We source ingredients locally when possible, participate in community events, and create jobs for local residents.
While respecting tradition, we constantly seek ways to improve our processes, reduce our environmental footprint, and enhance the customer experience through thoughtful innovation.
At Salvatore, we believe pizza is more than just food—it's an experience that brings people together. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a casual dinner with friends, or treating yourself after a long day, our goal is to make every pizza moment memorable.
