Our Journey
Since 1985, we've been passionately creating genuine Italian pizzas.
A Path from Naples to Your Doorstep
'MeadowLumenPark' was born from a vision to introduce true Neapolitan pizzas to London. The Romano lineage launched our small pizzeria in 1985, a venture deeply rooted in family traditions with recipes passed across generations.
Marco Romano, our trailblazing founder, perfected the pizza craft during her Italian excursions, particularly under the tutelage of Neapolitan pizza maestros. She returned to the UK with a resolve to replicate Italy's culinary marvel, adhering to classical techniques and top-tier products.
Starting as an intimate eatery with only 12 seats, we have evolved into a loved community fixture, all while maintaining our unwavering dedication to excellence and originality. Our age-old wood-fired oven methods endure, our dough is made fresh each day, and we source the premium ingredients available.
Now, 'MeadowLumenPark' continues under family governance, with the Romano progeny guiding our enthusiastic squad. Despite adopting contemporary progresses, our quintessence remains unaltered: to serve up delectable, authentic pizzas that create bonds.
