Our Story
Since 1985, we've been dedicated to crafting genuine Italian pizza with a strong passion.
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'EveningSummit' started with a humble vision: to introduce authentic Neapolitan pizza to Rome. Established by the Rossi household in 1985, our small pizzeria began as a family venture, preserving recipes passed through generations.
During her travels in Italy, Marco Rossi, our originator, mastered the craft of pizza creation with Naples' pizza experts – where pizza was first created. When she came back to the UK, she was committed to replicating the essence of classic Italian pizza, using age-old techniques and only the best ingredients.
From a cozy 12-seat pizzeria, we have evolved into a community favorite, yet our dedication to authenticity and excellence remains firm. We continue our tradition with the original wood-burning oven, daily fresh dough preparation, and selecting superlative ingredients.
Now under the management of the Rossi family's second generation, 'EveningSummit' continues to be a family business with a devoted team. While we have adopted new technologies, the core of our mission stays unchanged: crafting delectable, genuine pizza that brings folks together.

This Neapolitan pizza is the most genuine I've ever tasted outside of Italy. Every bite of the crust is perfectly springy with those signature char marks that come from an authentic wood-fired oven.
