About Us
YOUR PIZZA. OUR PASSION.
Piazza 1140 grew out of the simple idea that passion makes great pizza. Elie Aad began work on his pizza place in his hometown of Hammana on August 5th, 2020. Just one day after the most devastating explosion in Lebanon’s history, Elie was determined to create something positive, beautiful, delicious and memorable. At 1140-meter altitude, he knew that his food and atmosphere would have to be exceptional in order for people to make the drive up to the cherry capital of Lebanon just to eat pizza.
And that is exactly what he did. Piazza 1140 is an escape from the day-to-day grind of the city. Nestled in the old souk of Hammana, Elie’s 250 year old family home is now the centerpiece to this once quiet little square. The cobblestone street and classic Lebanese architecture surrounding this picturesque town, one can’t help but feel that you have travelled to Naples in one of the best-kept secrets of Lebanon – Hammana. With a custom-built wood-fired oven, and using only the freshest and finest ingredients, everything is made from scratch in-house.
In addition to our handmade classic napolitana pizzas, Piazza 1140 offers a distinctive menu of Neapolitan starters, salads, desserts and local and imported wine. The charming atmosphere (often with live music) is second to none and the spirit of Lebanese hospitality and Italian cuisine means everyone leaves with a smile on their face.
