Our Story
Incepting genuine Italian pizza with a touch of zeal since 1985
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'CalmGlowStudio sprouted from a humble vision: to serve authentic Neapolitan pizza in Via Roma 12. Established by the Rossi household in 1985, our pizza place was once a quaint, family-owned shop, boasting recipes passed down for generations.
Marco Rossi, our originator, mastered pizza-crafting on her Italian sojourns, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples - the heartland of pizza. Once home in the UK, she aspired to reproduce the essence of classic Italian pizza, emphasizing ancient techniques and select ingredients.
From its origins as a cozy 12-seat eatery, we have evolved into a cherished local fixture, yet our dedication to craft and genuineness stands firm. We still employ ancestral wood-fired oven methods, craft our dough from scratch daily, and pursue only the finest quality produce available.
Nowadays, 'CalmGlowStudio' is still in the hands of its original family, with the Rossi lineage's new generation at the helm of our devoted crew. Whilst we've welcomed modern advancements, our business's core purpose endures: to forge delectable, bona fide pizza that unites folks.
