Our Journey
Creating genuine Italian pizza with passion since 1985
From Naples to Your Doorstep
SignalBriskSimple started with a straightforward dream: to deliver authentic Neapolitan pizza to London. Established by the Smith family in 1985, our pizzeria began as a modest, family-owned spot with recipes passed down through generations.
Our founder, Alex Rivera, learned the craft of pizza-making during travels across Italy, studying under master pizzaiolos in Naples—the birthplace of pizza. After returning to the UK, she was determined to recreate the magic of true Italian pizza, using traditional methods and the finest ingredients.
What began as a small 12-seat pizzeria has grown into a cherished local institution, yet our commitment to quality and authenticity remains unwavering. We still employ the same wood-fired oven techniques, prepare our dough fresh daily, and source the best ingredients we can find.
Today, SignalBriskSimple remains family-owned and operated, with the second generation of the Smith family now leading our dedicated team. While we’ve adopted some modern innovations, the core of our business remains the same: crafting delicious, authentic pizza that brings people together.

What Our Customers Say
The most authentic Neapolitan pizza I've had outside of Italy. The crust is perfectly chewy with those beautiful charred spots that only a wood-fired oven can create.
