It’s all about ingredients, and our beloved produttori…
If our pizzas in London win over so many taste buds, it’s because we always start with seasonal Italian ingredients. (Tell me more, tell me more… was it love at first sight?)
We’ve been working hand in hand with over 150 small Italian producers, cultivating true relationships that are as old as Big Mamma (10 years, ragazzi!) Starting with our juicy Apulian burratas, handmade in Andria by Sapori di Puglia: 250g of puro amore and indulgence, carried all the way to London by Chef Filippo. Then, up north to Caseificio Gennari in Parma, where our big wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP take shape before sitting under the festoon lights at Circolo Popolare.
And of course, think fresh Tartufo Nero from Marche and Umbria, hand-selected by our amico Alfredo Romani… Our truffle pizza? Thank Alfredo first, and pizzaiolo Carmelo second, it wouldn’t taste the same without the prelibate truffle from the Apennines and Carmelo’s experienced hands.
Amici, our pizza recipes are simple: Farina Caputo 00, San Marzano DOP tomato Sauce, Mozzarella di Bufala e tanto amore… voilà, authentic Italian pizzeria in London, faithful to Italy and to the art of pizza, buon appetito!
Our authentic Italian pizza in London for you to have it all (crusts included)
From timeless Italian pizza classics to bold, creative recipes, our squadra of pizzaioli makes sure only the very best reaches the palates of our dearest Londoner amici.
It all begins with the biga—an age-old Italian fermentation method that transforms a simple blend of flour, water and yeast. Left to rest for 24 hours, it brings depth and character to the dough, which is then shaped into individual balls and left to rest for another 24 hours. The result? A crust that’s light, airy and beautifully balanced.
Passione? Sì. Pazienza? Tanta. It comes from years of learning, crafting, baking and perfecting. And as Maestro Francesco says, “our pizzas wouldn’t taste the same without our beloved produttori,” who bring us the finest ingredients from across the Bel Paese.
So head to our trattoria and pizzeria Circolo Popolare, or escape to Capri at Gloria in Shoreditch… slice after slice, our pizzas will surely take you to a Napoli adventure in the heart of London (we hope you agree).
