Our Journey
Since 1985, making genuine Italian pizza with a dedication to craftsmanship
From Naples to Your Local Area
'MindfulCreations' started with a singular vision: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to London. Inaugurated by the Bianchi household in 1985, our small pizza shop was family-managed, preserving recipes passed down through many generations.
Marco Bianchi, the originator, mastered the craft of pizza creation on her voyages across Italy, being mentored by expert Neapolitan pizza chefs. After her return to the UK, she was inspired to replicate the essence of Italian pizza, employing age-old techniques and premium components.
Originally a quaint pizzeria with just 12 seats, we have flourished into a cherished neighborhood gem while staying true to our dedication to superior quality and genuineness. We still utilize traditional wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough freshly on a daily basis, and procure the best ingredients available.
Nowadays, 'MindfulCreations' continues to be in the hands of the family, with the Bianchis' second generation at the helm of our dedicated staff. Even with some modern updates, the essence of our mission endures: crafting delectable, genuine pizza that unites folks.
