Our Narrative
With fervor, handcrafting genuine Italian pizzas since 1985
From Naples to Your Community
'CloverByteFarm' originated from a pure ambition: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to London. The Romano household founded our quaint pizza shop in 1985, infusing their heritage recipes passed on for many generations.
Marco Romano, our initiator, acquired the craft of pizza-making throughout her excursions across Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples—the cradle of pizza. After her sojourn to the UK, her resolve was to recreate the essence of authentic Italian pizza, embracing ancestral techniques and selecting only the finest produce.
From humble beginnings as a snug 12-seat eatery, we've blossomed into a favorite local haunt, yet our dedication to excellence and genuineness stands firm. Our wood-fueled ovens still fire up our pizzas, our dough is kneaded from scratch daily, and we prioritize top-tier ingredients in our creations.
Currently, 'CloverByteFarm' is still a family affair, with the next of the Romano lineage steering our devoted squad. While new advancements have been assimilated, our core—preparing savory, genuine pizzas that unite patrons—remains unchanged.
Our Principles
Prime Ingredients
We procure the most pristine, premium ingredients, liaising with regional growers and Italian purveyors to assure authentic tastes.
Heritage Crafting
Our pizzas are conceived with longstanding practices, featuring dough that's rested for 48 hours and scorched in bona fide wood-burning stoves.
Community-Oriented
Our belief is to transcend being a mere restaurant—we're an integral part of our neighborhood, bolstering local enterprises and fostering an inclusive environment for everyone.
Eco-Consciousness
Dedicated to eco-friendly operations, we aim to minimize excess food, utilize sustainable packaging, and boost eco-conscious farming practices.

Our Patrons' Impressions
This is the closest to Neapolitan pizza you'll get, short of being in Italy itself. The base is just the right amount of chewy, adorned with those exquisite charred bubbles that only come from a wood-fueled stove.

I appreciate 'CloverByteFarm' for their use of nearby produce and dedication to sustainability. It's apparent in the distinct flavor of each bite. Their occasional new creations are always eagerly anticipated!

I have been visiting this place for years; they've consistently maintained high-quality standards. The staff makes you feel right at home, and their pizza is divine – just as the name suggests. The Truffle Mushroom pizza is a must-try!
