Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Pastiera Napoletana contains cooked wheat (grano cotto), a traditional ingredient that gives the cake its signature texture. The recipe is not gluten free. For diners with celiac disease we recommend contacting our support team for the latest production procedure.

When is the Pastiera traditionally eaten?

It is traditionally eaten at Easter in Naples. Outside the Easter season it is also enjoyed during spring celebrations. The cake keeps well refrigerated for up to a week after thawing.

Great little treat

Good texture and flavor. Not too sweet.

Not the memory

My wife and I spent about thirty years in the Somerset, NJ area and were gifted a wheat pie from an Italian bakery in Bound Brook. We had a flashback of that experience and wanted that pie for our Easter celebration. Finding no supply in our current area of Richmond Virginia, we opted for Keste's pastiera napolitana.

The pie's arrived in great shape, cold and protected by an incredibly good packing.

Our taste test sharpened our memory of the New Jersey pie. The Keste pie was very tasty but had fewer wheat berries. Also the custard was dry, possibly to make the Keste pie more shippable. The NJ pie was very creamy, soft and custardy and did not have to suffer at the hands of a long distance shipment. The NJ pie remains our desire and we will keep on that trail.

Soooooooo freaking good, will definitely get it again 🇮🇹

Outstanding

OMG!!!! Excellent Tastes just like my Mothers before she passed away. ❤️🇮🇹

Delicious! Brought back wonderful childhood memories. I will definitely order these again!

The Cake of Neapolitan Easter Tradition

After overnight thawing and a brief rest out of the cold, the Pastiera Napoletana cuts into wedges revealing the cream-colored filling streaked with wheat grains underneath the lattice pastry top. The fresh ricotta gives the cake its delicate, custardy structure; the wheat grains add a chewy contrast; the lemon zest lifts the bite. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. The flavors deepen one to two days after thawing, the way Neapolitan grandmothers always served it: prepared on Good Friday, eaten on Easter Sunday.

For the best frozen Pastiera Napoletana shipped nationwide, with the canonical ricotta-and-cooked-wheat recipe most US bakeries cannot replicate outside Italian neighborhoods, Reserve yours from Kesté Pizza Go and lay on the Easter table the same cake regulars order at the pizzeria when spring comes around.
