Our Journey
With passion and dedication, we have been handcrafting genuine Italian pizza since 1985
A Neapolitan Legacy in Your Locale
'BrightRoot' was born from a vision to introduce authentic Neapolitan pizza to London. In 1985, the Davies family opened a quaint and familial pizzeria, bringing to life cherished recipes passed through generations.
Emily Davies, our patriarch, mastered traditional pizza-making during her Italian sojourn, particularly in Naples—pizza's homeland. After returning to the UK, her resolve to craft the quintessential Italian pizza experience was unwavering, emphasising time-honoured techniques and top-notch ingredients.
Our journey began in a humble 12-seater pizzeria and has since evolved into a renowned community fixture, yet our dedication to supreme quality and genuine craft remains steadfast. We continue the legacy through wood-fire oven baking, daily dough preparation, and the procurement of the finest quality provisions.
Presently, 'BrightRoot' thrives under the devoted stewardship of the Davies lineage's second generation, who carry forward the battalion with the same fervour. While innovation has seeped in, the essence of our enterprise endures: to unite people around delicious, true Italian pizza.
Our Principles
Superior Ingredients
We diligently select the finest ingredients, forging partnerships with local growers and authentic Italian providers to deliver true flavor.
Heritage Craftsmanship
Our pizzas emerge from time-tested crafting techniques where the dough is left to rise for 48 hours and baked in genuine wood-fired ovens.
Community Engagement
We strive to be more than just a dining place by actively participating in community projects and fostering a space that welcomes everyone.
Eco-Consciousness
Our dedication to sustainability is evident through our initiatives to lessen food waste, use eco-friendly packaging, and endorse sustainable farming practices.

Client Endorsements
This is the closest to genuine Neapolitan pizza I've enjoyed outside Italia. The crust is delightfully chewy, graced with the distinctive char only a wood-fired oven can impart.
