Daytime + Evening Dining | Neapolitan Pizza | Casual Vibes
Over 25 years ago, we ate our first Neapolitan pizza on a trip to Naples, Italy. That trip started a quiet dream, one that sat with us for years before we brought it to life.
VIA at Carmella’s is that dream. A classic local spot rooted in tradition, driven by craft, and infused with a whole lot of heart. Oh, and did we mention that we’re located right next door to one of the best Italian restaurants in the Fox Valley?! Click here to visit Carmella’s, an Italian Bistro.

Our Pizza Story
We didn’t just want to serve pizza, we wanted to do it right. That meant training with the VPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana), sourcing the right ingredients, and bringing in a custom oven straight from Naples.
Alongside our dear friend and bad ass chef, Kari Mueller, we trained in L.A. under master pizzaiolo Peppe Miele. We each earned our individual VPN certifications, and our goal is for VIA to be fully recognized by the VPN in the years to come.
Our dough has a 24-hour fermentation period in our one-of-a-kind dough room and our custom-built pizza oven from Naples, Italy (her name is d.b.) cooks without wood, giving our dough a purer expression, which is what we prfer.
Our toppings change with the seasons and every pie we make reflects everything we’ve learned and everything we still love about the food that started it all.
