Doppio Zero is heating up downtown San Carlos with its award-winning Neapolitan pizzas since it opened in June of this year — and it’s already exceeding expectations.

In 2014, Italian natives Angelo Sannino and Gianni Chiloiro opened the first Doppio Zero in Mountain View, inspired to share Southern Italian dishes and traditions with the Bay Area. Gianni, whose resume includes founding Gradimento, Medioevo and Pasta? partnered with Angelo, a pizzaiolo with a successful career managing several high-end restaurants in Beverly Hills and New York City. Fast-forwarding nine years, and now having five successful Doppio Zero locations, Angelo and Gianni still have the same goal.
