i. Biography
It’s never been about marketing tricks or chasing trends. For Susy Di Cosimo, the work at da Susy in Gurugram starts with the regular guests who have been visiting since day one, and with a kitchen that values repetition over noise. The measure here is not spectacle but the basics done cleanly: warm crust, blistered edges, and the discipline of making pizza that holds its shape and its intent.
The Path
Early work as a tour operator in India gave Susy Di Cosimo a practical view of movement, place, and expectation. That background now sits behind the food at Pizzeria da Susy, where she brings a broader reading of experience to a very focused craft. The result is a kitchen shaped by context as much as by technique.
The Work Today
At da Susy in Gurugram, Di Cosimo cooks Authentic Neapolitan pizza. The method is direct: dough, heat, toppings, and judgment, handled with enough control to carry Naples into an Indian dining room without turning it into theatre. The point is clarity. Each pizza has to arrive with the ease of something familiar and the precision of something considered. Her standard for the room is just as plainspoken. “The Indian palate is curious, evolving, and appreciates quality when it finds it.” That reading leaves no need to over-explain the food. The pizza stands on restraint, and the dining room is allowed to do what a dining room should: build trust through consistency.
Signature
Susy's signature dishes include Diavola and Sarson da pizza. The pair shows the range of her kitchen: one working within a familiar pizza grammar, the other carrying a more specific reference, with the weight of a name that points to memory as much as flavor.
In Their Words “It’s never been about marketing tricks or chasing trends. It’s about the regular guests who have been visiting us since day one.” “Sarson is the speciality of my birthplace, Naples... We call it Friarielli.”
