Our Heritage
Since 1985, we've been dedicated to creating true Italian pizza with fervor and expertise.
A Journey from Naples to Your Local Community
'SolidReach' originates from a vision to introduce authentic Neapolitan pizzas to London. The Wilson lineage, establishing our pizzeria in 1985, prized traditional recipes through several generations.
During her insightful sojourn across Italy, 'Emma Wilson', our progenitor, embraced the pizza craft while apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples, where pizza was conceived. Her return to the UK signified a resolve to bring forth the essence of genuine Italian pizza, utilizing traditional techniques and sourcing the finest materials.
Our story began in a quaint setting with just twelve seats; now we are a cornerstone of the community, yet our adherence to excellence and genuineness is unwavering. Employing vintage wood-fire oven methods, our dough is prepared fresh each day, and our ingredients are selected for supreme quality.
Retaining its familial ownership, 'SolidReach' celebrates its heritage with the Wilson family's second generation at the helm, directing a team immersed in passion. Despite integrating certain contemporary advancements, the core of our establishment remains—to offer scrumptious, authentic pizza that unites individuals.

Customer Endorsements
This is as close to genuine Neapolitan pizza as you can get outside Italy. The crust is exactly right—chewy with those signature scorched spots only a true wood-fired oven can impart.
