Our Origins
Passionately creating genuine Italian pizza since 1985
A Journey from Naples to Your Community
The inception of 'HarborMeadow' was a modest ambition: to introduce real Neapolitan pizza to Roma. The Bianchi family, starting in 1985, opened our small, intimate pizzeria where generations-old recipes come to life.
Marco Bianchi, our pioneer, mastered the craft of pizza preparation while exploring Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizza masters in Naples, the cradle of pizza. Upon her homecoming to the UK, her resolve was to replicate that quintessential Italian pizza experience, using age-old techniques and the purest ingredients.
Our journey began in a cozy 12-seater pizzeria and has since flourished into a cherished community staple. Despite our growth, the devotion to top-notch quality and genuine taste is unwavering. We perpetuate the use of tried-and-true wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough from scratch every day, and seek out the most exceptional ingredients available.
Today, 'HarborMeadow' remains under the stewardship of the Bianchi family successors, who manage our enthusiastic team. While modern advancements have been integrated, the essence of our mission endures: producing delectable, genuine pizzas that unite people.
Our Principles
Premium Ingredients
We're dedicated to procuring only the finest ingredients, partnering with hometown producers and Italian suppliers for authentic taste profiles.
Conventional Techniques
Our pizzas are made according to historic methods. Our dough undergoes a 48-hour fermentation process and is then fire-baked in genuine wood-fired ovens.
Focus on Community
We aspire to be more than just a dining venue. We are an integral part of the locality, backing community projects and fostering an inclusive space for everyone.
Eco-Consciousness
We are devoted to eco-friendly initiatives, aiming to minimize food waste, utilize sustainable packaging, and stand in support of responsible agricultural practices.
