Built around one wood oven
A Lifelong Passion for Pizza
Roberto Ferrucci is the founder and owner of Pizzeria Roma 1894, a Sudbury-based pizzeria built on tradition, passion, and a lifelong dedication to authentic Italian pizza.
His journey began at the age of 10, when he started learning the craft of pizza-making while working alongside his uncle in a pizzeria in the Bronx, New York. Over the years, Roberto continued refining his skills during visits to Italy, where he embraced traditional techniques and the values behind Italian cuisine.
With decades of experience as a restaurant owner and entrepreneur, Roberto has always believed that great pizza starts with quality ingredients, handmade preparation, and respect for tradition. In 2020, he brought his vision to life with Pizzeria Roma 1894, creating a place where customers could enjoy authentic wood-fired pizza inspired by his Italian roots and New York experience.
Why the oven changes everything
A wood-fired oven doesn't just cook a pizza — it transforms it. Temperatures inside climb well above what a home or standard commercial oven can reach, so a pizza that would take 12–15 minutes elsewhere is done in roughly 90 seconds to two minutes.
That short, intense blast of heat is what gives a wood-fired crust its character: a crisp, lightly charred exterior with a light, airy crumb inside, because the dough doesn't have time to dry out. The wood itself adds a faint smokiness no gas or electric oven can replicate.
