Our Journey
Embarking on our path of creating genuine Italian pizzas with heart since 1985
From Naples to Our Community
'WorldConnectPortal's inception was driven by a clear vision: to offer true Neapolitan pizza to London. The Wilson household established our pizzeria in 1985, as a quaint, family-oriented venue, nurturing recipes that have been celebrated for generations.
Emma Wilson, the visionary behind our brand, mastered pizza crafting during her extensive exploration of Italy, gleaning knowledge from renowned pizza chefs in Naples, the homeland of pizza. Returning to the UK, she was intent on replicating the essence of classic Italian pizza, favoring original techniques and the purest ingredients.
From the early days as a simple 12-seat restaurant, we've become a cherished local fixture, yet our dedication to excellence and originality is steadfast. We faithfully employ traditional wood-burning oven methods, prepare our dough from scratch every day, and select only premium-grade ingredients for our dishes.
To this day, 'WorldConnectPortal' continues to be a closely-held family enterprise, with the Wilson lineage still at the helm, guiding our dedicated staff. While we have integrated some contemporary touches, the essence of our establishment endures: crafting succulent, traditional pizza that unites our patrons.
