Our Heritage
Passionately creating genuine Italian pizzas since 1985
From Naples to Your Community
'BrookLanes' started with one simple vision: delivering true Neapolitan pizza to London. The Bianchi family initiated our little pizzeria in 1985, evolving from a tiny family-managed shop boasting generations-old recipes.
Marco Bianchi, our originator, mastered the craft of pizza creation while exploring Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples—pizza's homeland. After returning to the UK, she resolved to replicate the essence of genuine Italian pizza, adopting conventional techniques and select ingredients.
Our journey began with a cozy 12-seat eatery and has since flourished into a cherished local phenomenon, although our dedication to excellence and genuine practice remains firm. We adhere to traditional wood-fire oven baking, daily dough preparation, and sourcing premium ingredients.
'BrookLanes' continues to be a family-led business, with the Bianchi descendants currently steering our enthusiastic team. While we've adapted some contemporary innovations, our business core perseveres: fabricating luscious, true pizzas that unite our community.
Our Principles
Prime Ingredients
We procure the most pristine, top-tier ingredients by partnering with local producers and Italian suppliers to deliver the authentic taste.
Classic Techniques
We form our pizzas with traditional craftsmanship, allowing our dough to leaven over 48 hours and baking them in original wood-fired ovens.
Committed to Our Community
We aim to be more than a restaurant—we are an integral part of our locale, backing local ventures and offering a hospitable space for everyone.
Eco-Consciousness
Our commitment extends to the environment through minimal food wastage, eco-conscious packaging, and advocating for sustainable farming.
