Our Story
La Fenice Pizza was founded by Lamont Chapell and Leo Lopez, brought together by a shared passion for great pizza and the experience that comes with it. After years working together at Oak and Rye, they started La Fenice with the goal of bringing high-quality wood-fired pizza directly to people through their mobile almond wood-fired ovens.
The name La Fenice is inspired by the historic theater in Venice that famously rose again after multiple fires. The idea of resilience and reinvention felt fitting for a craft built on tradition but always evolving.
Over the past five years, La Fenice has catered events for clients including the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Apple, and Jameson Irish Whiskey. You can also regularly find the ovens set up at Bay Area breweries and wineries such as Narrative Fermentations, Barebottle Brewing, and J. Lohr Vineyards.
La Fenice is a family-run business that combines Lamont’s deep understanding of dough making with Leo’s experience as a pizzaiolo. Leo spent years working in some of the Bay Area’s most respected kitchens, including Del Popolo and Che Fico, developing a reputation as a true pizza purist. Every event is approached with the same focus on quality ingredients, proper technique, and cooking pizza the way it’s meant to be—live, in front of guests, straight out of the wood-fired oven.
