Our Journey
Passionately creating genuine Italian pizza since 1985
From Naples to Your Block
'UniversalInsights' started from a dream: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to London. Established by the Rossi household in 1985, our pizza shop was initially a quaint, family-owned business with secrets passed down for ages.
Marco Rossi, our progenitor, picked up the craft of pizza creation while voyaging across Italy, learning from renowned Naples pizzaiolos, where pizza originates. Once back in the UK, she sought to reproduce the essence of Italian pizza, adhering to traditional methodologies and the top-tier ingredients.
What began as a humble 12-seater pizzeria has now flourished into a cherished community staple, yet our dedication to excellence and genuineness remains unchanged. We continue to employ classic wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough fresh each day, and procure the most premium ingredients available.
Currently, 'UniversalInsights' is still under family management, with the Rossi's next of kin guiding our impassioned crew. Although we have welcomed some contemporary updates, the core of our operation stays true to our original mission: crafting delectable, genuine pizza that unites diners.

This pizza is the closest to Neapolitan authenticity I've experienced outside Italy. The crust offers the perfect bite, complete with those iconic slightly burnt blisters from a true wood-fired oven.
