Original Flavor 1889 is an Italian wine bar in Downtown St. Petersburg built around contemporary Neapolitan pizza. The dough is made from highly fermented grains without additives or preservatives, using whole-grain wheat enriched with bran and germ, and leavened with starters like biga and poolish over a 48-to-72-hour fermentation for a lighter, airier crust than a same-day Neapolitan dough allows.
The pizzaiolo is from Naples, and the kitchen is led by a chef with 20 years of experience cooking in fine-dining restaurants. Pizza is paired with a wine list as the centerpiece of the room.
