Our Heritage
Passionately creating genuine Italian pizzas since 1985
Naples to Your Neighborhood
'Crust & Craft Pizzeria started with a straightforward vision: to offer genuine Neapolitan pizza to Rome. The Bianchi family launched our small, family-owned pizzeria in 1985, boasting ancestral recipes passed down through the years.
Marco Bianchi, the pioneer of our establishment, acquired her pizza-crafting skills across Italy, mentoring with expert pizza chefs in Naples - the cradle of pizza. Following her return to the UK, she aimed to replicate the quintessential taste of classic Italian pizza, emphasizing traditional techniques and superb quality ingredients.
From our humble beginnings as a quaint 12-seat pizza shop to becoming a cherished locale, our devotion to excellence and purity has never faltered. The same wood-burning ovens are in operation, our dough is prepared from scratch routinely, and we maintain our search for the most exceptional ingredients available.
To this day, 'Crust & Craft Pizzeria' is a family-held and managed enterprise, now steered by the second-generation Bianchis, steering our dedicated team. While we have adopted some contemporary flair, the essence of our mission remains: baking delicious, authentic pizzas that draw people together.
Our Core Principles
Prime Ingredients
We prioritize sourcing the most pristine, high-grade ingredients, partnering with regional growers and Italian suppliers to deliver true flavors.
Artisan Techniques
We pride ourselves on traditional craftsmanship, leaving our dough to ferment 48 hours and baking it in original wood-fired ovens.
Focus on Community
Our belief extends beyond serving meals—we are firmly rooted in our community, championing local events and fostering a space where everyone's welcome.
Eco-Friendly Practices
Our commitment to the environment drives us to practice responsibility, from minimizing food waste to employing compostable packaging and advocating for sustainable farming.
