Our Story
Since 1985, passionately creating genuine Italian pizzas
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'BreadButterFarm' had a humble beginning with an ambition: to deliver true Neapolitan pizzas to Rome. The Rossi family opened this small establishment in 1985, epitomizing a rich familial heritage in culinary arts.
The inception of 'BreadButterFarm' can be traced back to our founder, Marco Rossi, who mastered the craft of pizza-making in her voyages across Italy, particularly absorbing knowledge from masters in Naples. After her return to the UK, her resolve to offer an authentic Italian pizza experience led to the use of age-old techniques and the finest ingredients.
From its original state of a cozy establishment with seating for twelve, 'BreadButterFarm' has flourished into a cherished local eatery, though our dedication to culinary excellence remains unchanged. Our time-tested wood-fired ovens, our daily preparation of fresh dough, and our selective ingredient sourcing are testaments to our enduring quality.
'BreadButterFarm' today upholds its family heritage, with the Rossi progeny now at the helm, propelling our devoted team forward. While we've modernized in some respects, the essence of our venture endures: to craft mouthwatering, artisanal pizzas that unite our patrons.
