Our Narrative
Passionately making genuine Italian pizza since 1985
From Naples to Your Community
'LongShoreLine sprang from a modest vision: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to Rome. Established by the Rossi household in 1985, our little pizzeria began as a family venture with recipes passed down from ancestors.
Marco Rossi, our originator, mastered pizza-making during her sojourns in Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples—the cradle of pizza. After her return to the UK, she was committed to reproducing the enchantment of original Italian pizza, adhering to age-old methods and premium components.
Initially a quaint 12-seat pizzeria, it has expanded into a cherished neighborhood gem, yet our dedication to excellence and genuineness remains steadfast. We continue to utilize historic wood-fire oven techniques, craft our dough from scratch each day, and obtain the best quality ingredients available.
Now, 'LongShoreLine' is still family-held and managed, with the Rossi descendants at the helm, guiding our enthusiastic crew. Even though we have adopted some modern updates, our core mission endures: delivering scrumptious, authentic pizza that unites our patrons.
Our Principles
Prime Ingredients
We procure only the most fresh, top-tier ingredients, collaborating with community growers and Italian suppliers to maintain true flavors.
Heritage Techniques
We create our pizzas using heritage techniques, letting our dough ferment for 48 hours and baking it in genuine wood-fired ovens.
Focus on Community
We strive to be more than a food establishment—we're an integral part of the community, contributing to local causes and fostering a space that welcomes everyone.
Ecological Responsibility
We practice environmental stewardship, from diminishing food scraps to choosing eco-conscious materials and backing responsible farming.

Hear From Our Patrons
This is the closest to Neapolitan pizza I've tasted beyond Italy's borders. The crust has that ideal texture and those distinctive char marks that only come from a wood-fired oven.
