Our Journey
Devoted to crafting genuine Italian pizzas with love since 1985
From Naples to Your Community
'KindleGrainHub started with a humble dream: introducing real Neapolitan pizzas to London. The Rossi family established our pizzeria in 1985 as a quaint, family-managed shop boasting longstanding family recipes.
Marco Rossi, our pioneer, mastered the pizza craft during her voyages across Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples, where pizza was first created. Coming back to the UK, she aimed to emulate the essence of true Italian pizza with age-old techniques and prime ingredients.
From our original establishment with just 12 seats, we've evolved into a cherished neighborhood fixture, yet our pledge to excellent and genuine fare remains unchanged. We stick to historical wood-fired oven baking, prepare our dough from scratch each day, and choose only the best ingredients accessible.
Currently, 'KindleGrainHub' is still in the hands of the Rossi family, with a new generation at the helm, continuing to lead our dedicated crew. While we've adopted some contemporary advances, our business's soul stays intact: providing delightful, authentic pizzas that gather folks together.
Our Principles
Premium Ingredients
Only the best, freshest ingredients make the cut for our pizzas, sourced from both local growers and Italian merchants to promise true, full flavors.
Artisan Techniques
Each pizza is a work of art, following revered traditions with dough that rests for 48 hours and is then baked to perfection in genuine wood-fired ovens.
Community Connection
More than just serving food, we are an integral part of the community, supporting local initiatives and fostering a space where everyone's welcome.
Eco-Friendly Practices
Our dedication to the environment is evident in our efforts to minimize food waste, our use of sustainable packaging, and our support for responsible farming.

This is the closest to an authentic Neapolitan pizza you can get outside Italy. The crust has just the right chewiness and those signature charred bubbles that only a wood-fired oven can produce.
