Our Origin
Creating genuine Italian pizza with dedication since 1985
From Naples to Your Table
'MellowFiberGlade started with a humble vision: to deliver true Neapolitan pizza to London. Established by the Bianchi family in 1985, we opened our doors as a quaint, family-operated eatery, boasting recipes passed down from ancestors.
Marco Bianchi, our progenitor, mastered the craft of pizza-making on her travels across Italy, specifically learning from the renowned pizzaiolos in Naples—the cradle of pizza. After her journey, she aimed to replicate the essence of quintessential Italian pizza, strictly adhering to long-established practices and selecting the finest ingredients.
What opened as a modest eatery with just 12 seats has evolved into a much-admired neighborhood gem, however, our dedication to craftsmanship and genuineness has stayed constant. We continue to employ traditional wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough in-house each day, and carefully choose the top-tier ingredients for our dishes.
Currently, 'MellowFiberGlade' is still in the hands of our founding family, with the descendants of the Bianchi lineage actively managing our enthusiastic workforce. While we have adopted new innovations, the essence of our work remains undisturbed: to deliver luscious, bona fide pizza that unites everyone around the table.
Our Principles
Premium Ingredients
We acquire the freshest and highest-standard ingredients, liaising with regional producers and authentic Italian suppliers to provide an unmistakable taste.
Ancient Techniques
Our pizzas are sculpted respecting age-old methods, with a dough that rests for 48 hours and is then baked within classic wood-fueled ovens.
Focus on Society
We aspire to be more than a place to eat by being an essential part of our society, bolstering local endeavors and providing a convivial venue for everyone.
Eco-friendliness
We are dedicated to practices that are kind to the environment, including limiting food waste, utilizing environmentally friendly containers, and championing sustainable farming.
