Experience a slice of real pizza in Headingley

We bring the vibrant essence of Napoli to Leeds’ student hub. While they take just 1 minute to cook in our fiercely hot handcrafted ovens, our pizzas are a true labour of love. 

Our famously delicious pizza base begins life over 24 hours before it finds its way onto your plate.  We use 00 caputo flour, and then we double ferment it to achieve a pizza base that’s soft, airy and tasty – making it light work to polish off several slices in no time. 

The only challenge for you is to pick your pizza! Whether you like to keep it classic with a tasty margherita, prefer a spicy pizza loaded with rich N’djua, or enjoy a super savoury option with salty anchovies and olives, our small but perfectly formed pizza menu is sure to please.
