Margherita
£11.50San Marzano DOP, fior di latte, basil, Sicilian extra-virgin olive oil.
Pizza Napoletana · Forno a legna · London
Forty-eight hours of slow dough. Ninety seconds at 485°C. San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte from Campania and a dome oven built by hand in Naples. Keep scrolling — we'll build you one.
01L'Impasto
Caputo Pizzeria 00, cold water, Trapani sea salt and two grams of fresh yeast per kilo. No sugar, no oil, no shortcuts — the rest of the recipe is time.
4 ingredientsThe dough rests at 4°C for two full days. Slow fermentation turns starch into flavour and gives a crust so light you'll find room for a second.
48h at 4°COur pizzaioli press from the centre outward, pushing air into the edge. That trapped air is what blooms into the cornicione in the fire.
3mm at the centreCrushed San Marzano DOP, torn fior di latte, basil picked this morning and a thread of Sicilian olive oil. Then straight onto the peel.
40s on the bench02Il Forno
Our two domes were built brick by brick by a third-generation oven maker in Naples, then shipped to London in 1,400 numbered pieces. Fed with oak and beech from 7am, the deck holds 485°C — hot enough to blister the cornicione into leopard spots before the centre can dry out.
03Il Morso
A soft, molten centre. A crust that tears like warm bread. Fior di latte that refuses to let go. A Neapolitan pizza is at its best in the first three minutes — so we'll have it in your hands in under ten.
05Le Origini
We import four ingredients directly from producers we've visited ourselves. Everything else is British, seasonal and from within eighty miles of the oven.
Valle del Sarno, Campania
Grown in volcanic soil in the shadow of Vesuvius and hand-picked in August. Sweet, low in seeds and acidity — we crush them by hand and add nothing but salt.
1,920 km to the ovenAgerola, Monti Lattari
Cow's-milk mozzarella from a family caseificio in the hills above the Amalfi coast. Flown in twice a week, torn by hand, never sliced.
1,960 km to the ovenNaples, milled since 1924
Soft wheat ground slowly, so the starch stays intact. Strong enough for a 48-hour ferment, fine enough to bake through in ninety seconds.
1,940 km to the ovenValle del Belice, Sicily
Cold-pressed within hours of harvest. Grassy, peppery and poured raw over every pizza the second it leaves the fire.

“The closest I've come to Via dei Tribunali without a boarding pass. The cornicione actually tears.”
“’Nduja & honey should be illegal. Sweet, hot, smoky — gone in four minutes.”
“Came for a quick lunch, stayed for three Margheritas. The dough is so light you just keep going.”
“Watching them work that oven is half the show. Ninety seconds, every time, and the char is perfect.”
“Finally, a Marinara done right. My nonna approved — and she approves of nothing.”
