Our Heritage
With devotion, we've been creating genuine Italian pizza since 1985
From the Heart of Naples to Your Local Community
'LunarCraftRoom started with a simple vision: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to London. The Rossi family opened our doors in 1985 as a quaint pizzeria with time-honored recipes passed down from ancestors.
Marco Rossi, the progenitor, honed her pizza-making skills by learning from renowned pizzaiolos in Naples, where pizza was conceived. Upon her return to the UK, her mission was to replicate the essence of authentic Italian pizza, embracing old-world techniques and premium ingredients.
Originally a cozy venue with just 12 seats, we've since grown into a cornerstone of the community, all while maintaining our dedication to superior quality and genuine practices. Our methods continue to involve wood-fired ovens, daily house-made dough, and the best ingredients available.
Still under the ownership of the Rossi lineage, 'LunarCraftRoom' is now steered by the second generation, leading a team that's enthusiastic about our craft. We honor tradition yet also adopt new advancements when beneficial, keeping our core: crafting delicious, truthful pizza that unites our guests.

Customer Endorsements
This is the closest to authentic Neapolitan pizza you can get outside of Italy. The crust has the perfect balance of chewiness with those delightful charred spots, which only a wood oven can provide.
