Our Journey
Since 1985, creating genuine Italian pizza with dedication and expertise
From Naples to Your Local Area
'CedarStonepk started with an earnest aspiration: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to London. Established by the Bianchi lineage in 1985, our pizza shop was initially a quaint, family-directed venture, carrying on recipes that go back several generations.
Marco Bianchi, our progenitor, mastered the craft of pizza through her explorations across Italy, particularly learning from accomplished pizza chefs in Naples, the homeland of pizza. Once she came back to the UK, it was her mission to emulate the enchantment of authentic Italian pizza, utilizing age-old techniques and the most exquisite components.
From a humble locale with just 12 seats, we've expanded into a cherished community fixture. Nonetheless, our allegiance to crafting top-quality, genuine pizza remains steadfast. The same wood-fired oven methods are employed, our dough is made fresh daily, and we continuously seek out the finest ingredients accessible.
To this day, 'CedarStonepk' is still steered by the Bianchi family, with the next generation at the helm of our zealous crew. Even with some contemporary improvements, the essence of our enterprise stays intact: we're committed to piecing together delicious, authentic pizza that unites everyone around the table.

We partner with local producers and Italian suppliers to procure pristine, top-tier ingredients, ensuring true Italian taste in our dishes.
Ancestral Techniques
Employing long-established methods, we prepare our pizzas with a dough that undergoes a 48-hour fermentation process and is baked in genuine wood-fired ovens.
Community Engagement
Our philosophy extends beyond our food; we're an integral element of the neighborhood, devoted to local events and providing a venue that welcomes everyone.
