Our Heritage
Passionately creating genuine Italian pizzas since 1985
From the Heart of Naples to Your Local Area
'OpenHorizonView originated from a humble aspiration: to deliver the authentic taste of Neapolitan pizza to Via Vittorio Emanuele, 75. Established by the Bianchi family in 1985, our pizza shop has always been a quaint, family-oriented business where recipes are a storied family heritage.
Our patriarch, Marco Bianchi, mastered the craft of pizza creation while exploring Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples—the home of pizza. Back in the UK, her commitment was to replicate the enchantment of genuine Italian pizza, strictly following customary techniques with premium elements.
Starting from a cozy pizzeria with seating for just twelve, we've expanded to become a cherished eatery in the community. Nonetheless, our dedication to crafting quality and authentic fare remains unwavering. We continue to utilize traditional wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough from scratch every day, and apply the most selective standards for our ingredients.
Now, 'OpenHorizonView' is still in the hands of our family, with the 'Bianchi' lineage propelling our devoted team forward. While we've integrated some contemporary approaches, the essence of our enterprise has stayed unchanged: serving delectable, genuine pizzas that foster communal bonds.
Our Core Principles
Premium Ingredients
We obtain the most pristine, top-tier ingredients, partnering with nearby growers and Italian suppliers to guarantee true flavors.
Conventional Techniques
Our pizzas are shaped through age-old traditions, featuring a dough that's rested for two full days and baked in genuine wood-fired ovens.
Focus on Community
We are dedicated to being more than a restaurant by actively participating in community projects and cultivating a place of inclusivity.
Commitment to Sustainability
Our operations stand firm in ecological accountability, from minimizing food waste to using recyclable materials and endorsing sustainable farming.

Customer Endorsements
This is the closest to an authentic Neapolitan pizza you can get without being in Italy. The crust has the ideal amount of chewiness and is adorned with those characteristic char marks that only come from a traditional wood-fired oven.
