Lampo for Life at Home

Ever wished you could enjoy world-class Neapolitan pizza at home? Now you can. Win Lampo‘s auction, and the team from Charlottesville’s favorite Neapolitan pizzeria will come to your home and, brick-by-brick, build a replica of Lampo‘s pizza oven in your yard. Assisting them will be Corry Blanc of Blanc Creatives, the nationally renowned cookware artisan who built the grill at Prime 109, and who will provide the metalwork for the oven. Once the team’s hard work is done, they will return to your home to teach you how to use your new oven, and will bring with them all of the ingredients needed to help you throw a pizza party at your home. After that, anytime you need pizza dough, just swing by Lampo and pick some up. It’s Lampo for life. At home.

Estimated value: $30,000+

Note: Lampo’s team expects that building the pizza oven could require days of work, spaced across several weekends, and may not begin until 2020. After the oven’s construction is complete, the auction winner will schedule the pizza party on a mutually convenient Sunday with Lampo’s team.
