Pizza the Franco Pepe way is an experience that must be lived in its entirety, through aromas, flavors and the stories behind the birth of each individual creation.

At Proxima, you will experience an experience that is the result of great gastronomic research, professional room service, unique and recognizable design with a narrative and visual system that can make you feel just as if you were in the head office in Caiazzo.

Franco Pepe is a modern artisan with an ancient passion for pizza. His expertise is based on the experience of three generations of master bakers and has developed over the years, enriched by the passion and dedication for dough that has made Franco known worldwide. Franco Pepe is synonymous with guarantee and singular attention to a food of ancient folk tradition, twice Knight of Merit of the Italian Republic and Ambassador of the Mediterranean Diet in the world. Since Franco Pepe left the family’s Antica Osteria in 2012 to start the unprecedented solo venture in the heart of Caiazzo’s historic center, he has poured his desire for experimentation and experience as a passionate baker into Pepe in Grani, making it a true cult place. Pizza, research and hospitality, three focal points that have contributed to a methodical and steady growth in the quality standards set.

“Proxima is a project due, to ensure all that is continuity, in Proxima there is the evolution of Pepe in Grani, there are my children and the development of that idea born in 2012 thanks to which I was able to deepen and experiment with my format. An experimentation that binds with tradition and strengthens with it.”
