Our Tale
Devotedly creating genuine Italian pizza with love since 1985
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
The journey of 'CommonReferencePortal' began with a dream to introduce real Neapolitan pizza to London. Established by the Smith family in 1985, our small, family-operated pizzeria began with generations-old recipes.
Jane Doe, the founder, mastered the craft of pizza on her travels across Italy, precisely from the expert pizzaiolos in Naples. After her return to the UK, her goal was to offer the essence of Italian pizza using timeless techniques and premium materials.
Initially starting as a tiny eatery with only 12 seats, we've become a cherished part of the locale, yet our promise to excellence and genuineness remains unchanged. Utilizing original wood-burning oven methods, crafting our dough from scratch each day, and selecting top-notch ingredients are all part of our tradition.
Presently, 'CommonReferencePortal' is still in the hands of the Smith family, with the next kin steering our enthusiastic crew. Despite incorporating a few contemporary advances, our ethos has stayed consistent: we create delightful, real pizza that unites people.
