Our Story

La Fenice Pizza was founded by Lamont Chapell and Leo Lopez, united by a passion for exceptional pizza and bringing people together through great food. After years of honing their craft at Oak and Rye, they launched La Fenice to create memorable dining experiences with their mobile almond wood-fired ovens.

Inspired by Venice’s La Fenice Theater—a symbol of resilience and creativity—our name reflects our dedication to artistry and innovation. Over the past five years, we’ve proudly served clients like the San Francisco 49ers, Apple, and Restoration Hardware, while also sharing our love for pizza at local breweries and wineries.

As a family-run business, La Fenice combines Lamont’s expertise in dough making with Leo’s pizzaiolo mastery, cultivated at acclaimed pizzerias like Del Popolo and Che Fico. Together, we transform food into art, creating unforgettable moments—one slice at a time.
