Welcome to Lievito, the first Gourmet pizzeria in Beijing. Our name means "yeast", that is the key component of the fermentation, and at it's core defines the basic process for a perfect pizza. That's also where our journey starts to bring to your tables our interpretation of a classic and globalised dish. In Lievito pizza is light, slowly raised, easy to digest, crispy outside - airy inside and pretty thick. Gourmet or Classic, we choose only top notch ingredients plus our never ending desire for the perfect baking, that is the most valuable of all.

Lievito shares the same location with Fiume (they are connected by a terrace) on the south side of Liangma River, at walking distance from the CBD, the newest Embassy Area, many international hotels and residential compounds lays, like an oasis, a quiet and green area where downtown’s hustle and bustle is left outside.

Lievito is cozy and modern, with three sitting options: few handmade iron tables, a social long table created with the grey stone that defines also the walls and part of the floor and in summer an intimate terrace. Its decor match with the idea of a craft pizza and brings the experience of eating a pizza to a different level of comfort.

The project has been curated by the German-Italian duo of architects behind MDDM Studio. Photos are from JONATHAN LEIJONHUFVUD 

Lievito is the first Gourmet pizza in Beijing, where a chef (from Mercante and Fiume) and a pizza master (from South of Italy) met up, to create combinations of flavours to be enjoyed on top of heavenly raised doughs. The perfect synthesis between a restaurant and a pizzeria. 

Main characteristics of our pizza:

Flours: Mix of Molino Mariani 00 Rinforzata and Molino Mariani 2
Raising time: Minimum 48 hours
Oils: Olio Terre Bormane
Oven: Electric with baking chamber entirely in refractory brick (Forni Moretti Professional)

Our pizza was awarded TWO slices from the "GAMBERO ROSSO - TOP ITALIAN RESTAURANTS 2018" guide and confirmed in 2019.

With our convenient location, easy to access both with public and private transportations, a modern and stylish design with a main dining room that can accomodate up to 30 guests at the same table, an airy bar area with private balcony and a unique al fresco terrace by the river, Lievito can be a versatile option for 20 to 50 guests corporate and private events. Customised flower decoration, table dressing, music entertainment and of course menu can all be arranged for private party.
