A Visionary Approach to Pizza

"It’s not just about crafting the perfect dough or finding the finest ingredients; it’s about the artistry and passion that goes into every slice…"
— Michele Pascarella

Originally from Naples, Michele began his journey driving around in a three-wheel Ape Piaggio truck equipped with a wood-fired oven, making pizzas at markets across London. Fast forward 8 years, and he now runs two hugely popular restaurants.

Key highlights of Michele’s philosophy:

• Respect for Nature: His approach honors the course of nature and works closely with local suppliers.
