Our Story
Since 1985, we've been dedicated to creating genuine Italian pizza with a deep passion.
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'BrindLeway started with one vision: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to London. The Bianchi family opened our doors in 1985, beginning as a cozy, family-operated eatery, carrying forward recipes that have been in the family for generations.
Marco Bianchi, our originator, mastered the pizza craft on her journeys across Italy, learning from Neapolitan pizza experts. After returning to the UK, she embarked on a quest to replicate traditional Italian pizza, using age-old techniques and the most select ingredients.
From our humble origins as a 12-seat local pizza shop, we've grown into a treasured community staple without compromising our dedication to quality and tradition. Our time-tested wood-fired ovens, daily handmade dough, and premium ingredient sourcing remain our standard.
Still under family management, 'BrindLeway' is now spearheaded by the Bianchi family's next generation. While we've integrated modern improvements, our core purpose is unchanged: to craft delectable, genuine pizzas that unite folks.
Our Values
Quality Ingredients
Our ingredients are of supreme freshness and quality, sourced from both local farmers and prestigious Italian suppliers to ensure a truly authentic taste.
Traditional Methods
We take pride in our heritage by employing classic crafting methods, allowing our dough a 48-hour fermentation period, followed by baking in a genuine wood-fired oven.
Community Focus
Our aim extends beyond simply being a restaurant; we strive to be an integral part of the community, participating in local events and offering a space where everyone feels welcomed.
Sustainability
Our commitment to the planet is evident in our eco-friendly approach, from minimizing food wastage to utilizing biodegradable packaging and championing sustainable farming practices.

What Our Customers Say
This is the closest to Neapolitan pizza I've savored outside of Italy. The crust has just the right chewiness and those delightful char marks that come from an authentic wood-fired oven.
