In 2012, Thom & James drove a Piaggio ape Tuk Tuk all the way from Sicily to London on a 'Pilgrimage' to learn the secrets of perfect Italian pizza. They went on to set up a market stall in Soho with an oven in the back of the van before opening their first actual pizzeria on Dean Street.

Nowadays we have over 20 award-winning pizzerias across the UK, we've got our own Pizza Academy where we run training workshops every day, and we're also a BCORP - something we're extremely proud about achieving.
