Our Journey
Creating genuine Italian pizza with dedication since 1985
From Naples to Your Local Community
'SunsetVeranda Pizzeria' originated from a humble dream: to serve up true Neapolitan pizza in London. The Rossi family embarked on this journey in 1985, beginning with a quaint, familial shop that honors recipes passed on for generations.
Marco Rossi, the visionary who started it all, honed her pizza-making skills during a pilgrimage across Italy, where she apprenticed with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples, the cradle of pizza-making. Back in the UK, her mission to replicate the essence of genuine Italian pizza became a reality, achieved through age-old techniques and high-quality components.
Starting from a humble 12-seat pizza place, we've evolved into a cherished culinary cornerstone, yet our dedication to exemplary craft and originality is unchanged. Our kitchen still celebrates wood-fired ovens, crafts dough from scratch every day, and insists on only the best ingredients.
Now, 'SunsetVeranda Pizzeria' continues under the stewardship of the Rossi family's next generation, blending tradition with contemporary touches. At the core of our establishment is the drive to create transcendent pizza that unites friends and family.
