Our Journey
Making genuine Italian pizza with dedication since 1985
From Naples to Your Community
'TheUnseenConnections started with an uncomplicated vision: to deliver true Neapolitan pizza to London. Established by the Bianchi kin in 1985, our pizzeria was originally a quaint, family-owned venture, boasting recipes passed down for generations.
Marco Bianchi, our pioneer, acquired the skills of pizza craft during journeys across Italy, honing her craft with the expertise of Neapolitan pizza masters. After her return to the UK, she set out to replicate the enchantment of genuine Italian pizza, adhering to age-old methodologies and selecting only the best ingredients.
What started as a small 12-seat pizza shop has flourished into a cherished community gem, yet our pledge to excellence and authenticity has consistently endured. We continue to utilize traditional wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough from scratch each day, and procure premium quality products.
Presently, 'TheUnseenConnections is still in the hands of the Bianchi family, with the succeeding generation now at the helm, directing our eager crew. Although we've adapted modern innovations, the essence of our operation remains unchanged: to produce delectable, genuine pizza that unites people.

Our Patrons' Impressions
There's nothing more authentic than the Neapolitan pizza here—outside Italy, of course. The crust strikes the perfect balance of chewiness with those iconic charred blisters that only come from a true wood-fired oven.
