The Artisan Behind AutoVino's Neapolitan Masterpieces.

At AutoVino, where winemaking meets culinary excellence, Nate stands out as a master of Neapolitan-style pizza.

His commitment to tradition and pursuit of perfection make him an essential part of the experience. Nate's journey in pizza-making reflects his dedication and respect for Naples's rich heritage.

A Journey Rooted in Passion

Nate's journey to culinary mastery began with a curiosity that grew into a passion for authentic pizza. He studied under renowned pizzaiolo Vito Iacopelli, learning the intricacies of pizza-making, from dough fermentation to achieving the perfect char in a wood-fired oven. More than just techniques, he gained a deep appreciation for the respect and care the craft requires.

Honing the Craft at AutoVino

When Nate arrived at AutoVino, he found the perfect place to improve his skills. Inspired by the winery's careful aging process in oak barrels, he applied the same philosophy to his craft, ensuring that every pizza meets high-quality standards.

His 48-hour dough fermentation process is essential to Neapolitan tradition, resulting in an airy crust with a rich flavor. The pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven, coming out with distinctive leopard spotting, a hallmark of true craftsmanship.

More Than a Meal: A Culinary Experience

These pizzas offer more than just food; they provide a memorable experience. Each is crafted with top-quality ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala, fresh basil, and premium olive oil, emphasizing balance and simplicity.

When paired with AutoVino's wines, the experience is elevated even further. The smoky char of a Margherita pizza matches perfectly with a bold red wine, while a crisp white wine highlights the delicate flavors of a Bianca pizza. Together, they achieve perfect harmony.

Keeping Tradition Alive

Nate's commitment to upholding the standards of the Neapolitan Pizza Association distinguishes him from others. Every pizza he creates pays tribute to the legacy of the pizzaioli who preceded him. At the same time, he infuses each pie with his personality and creativity, delivering a blend of passion and precision in his craft.

The Future of Pizza at AutoVino

Today, Nate is more than just a pizza maker; he is a storyteller, a craftsman, and an ambassador for the art of Neapolitan pizza. His creations have become a cornerstone of AutoVino's identity, attracting guests who come for the wine and stay for the unforgettable pizza.

Come and Experience Nate's Masterpieces!

At AutoVino, you can enjoy freshly prepared Neapolitan pizzas every Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pair them with our exceptional wines for an unforgettable culinary experience. Don't miss out—plan your visit this weekend!

This past Sunday, generosity filled the air at Auto Vino’s Cars & Cabernet!

Thanks to our fantastic car enthusiast community and the wonderful residents of San Carlos and surrounding areas, we collected many toys for the Toys for Tots program.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Menlo Park Fire Station 1, which has participated in the Toys for Tots program since the 1960s. This remarkable initiative, started by a group of Marines in 1947, continues to bring joy to children year after year.

Today, the Fire Department arrived to collect the donations, filling their trailer with toys. These toys will be taken to St. Anthony’s in Redwood City, where they will be sorted so each child can find their perfect gift later this week.

Thank you to everyone who contributed; you made this possible. Your help made the holidays brighter for many!

Hamburger or Cheeseburger Salad | Paired with 2012 Nebbiolo-Dolcetto

The wine's robust tannins balance the beef's richness, while its subtle acidity brightens the fresh kale base, creating a perfectly balanced pairing.

Salmon Salad | Paired with 2020 Viognier
This pairing highlights Viognier's elegance. Its floral notes enhance the marinade's garlic and herbs while bringing out the freshness of the greens.
