Our Story
Since 1985, creating exquisite Italian pizza with a passionate touch
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'BeyondHorizons started with a clear vision: showcasing genuine Neapolitan pizza in 12 Via Partenope. The Bianchi family opened the doors to their quaint pizzeria in 1985 as a cozy, family-managed spot that cherished recipes passed down for generations.
The founder, Marco Bianchi, mastered pizza-making through her extensive travels across Italy, particularly under the guidance of renowned pizza chefs in Naples, which is renowned as the home of pizza. Upon her return to the UK, her mission was to bring the wonder of real Italian pizza to life, employing age-old techniques and selecting only top-notch ingredients.
Our once small 12-seat venue has expanded into a cherished neighborhood hub, yet our dedication to excellence and genuine cuisine stands firm. Our age-old wood oven methods still prevail, our dough is kneaded fresh each day, and we prioritize the best ingredients available.
Currently, 'BeyondHorizons' is still under family ownership, with the Bianchi family's next generation at the helm, guiding our enthusiastic crew. While we have adopted modern enhancements, our core principle remains: delivering mouthwatering, authentic pizza that unites our patrons.

What Our Customers Say
This is the closest to Neapolitan pizza I've experienced outside of Italy. The dough is chewy and sports those characteristic charred patches that only come from a real wood-fired oven.
Gregory Smith
I adore the fact that 'BeyondHorizons' commits to local ingredients and eco-conscious practices. The distinction shines through in each slice. Their rotating seasonal recipes are always eagerly anticipated!
Lisa Parker
I've been a regular for many years and the quality is consistent. The staff makes you feel like part of the family, and the pizzas are simply divine. The Truffle Mushroom pizza is not to be missed.
