Our Narrative
With fervor, we've been handcrafting genuine Italian pizzas since 1985
From Naples to the Heart of Your Community
'Slices & Spices Pizzeria started from a vision: to offer authentic Neapolitan pizza to London. Initiated by the Rossi clan in 1985, our small, homegrown pizza shop offered recipes passed down for generations.
Marco Rossi, our founder, mastered the craft of pizza creation during her journeys across Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples—where pizza was conceived. After her return to the UK, she set out to replicate the essence of authentic Italian pizza, using age-old techniques and the finest quality ingredients.
Starting as a humble 12-seat eatery, it has evolved into a cherished community fixture, yet our pledge to authenticity and quality persists. We continue to bake with time-tested wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough from scratch each day, and select the best ingredients we can procure.
Presently, 'Slices & Spices Pizzeria' is still under the stewardship of the Rossi household, with their progeny at the forefront of our devoted staff. While we’ve incorporated modern upgrades, the core of our venture remains steadfast: to serve scrumptious, genuine pizza that draws people together.

Customer Endorsements
This is the most genuine Neapolitan pizza you'll find this side of Italy. The dough is just the right amount of chewy with those characteristic charred blisters that only come from a true wood-fired oven.
