Our Narrative
Mastering the craft of genuine Italian pizza with dedication since 1985
From Naples to Your Local Area
'GlintSpring was sparked by a vision: to deliver true Neapolitan pizza to London. Originated by the Bianchi household in 1985, our little family-owned pizzeria began with age-old recipes passed through the lineage.
Marco Bianchi, our pioneering spirit, mastered the pizza craft during her ventures across Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizza masters in Naples - the pizza's homeland. After settling back into the UK, her resolve was to replicate the essence of Italian pizza, adhering to the classic ways and using only top-tier components.
From an initial 12-seat eatery, we've expanded into a community favorite, yet our pledge to excellence and genuineness stands firm. Still employing traditional wood-fired ovens, our daily house-made dough, and selecting premium ingredients remain our standard.
At present, 'GlintSpring' continues to be a family treasure, with the Bianchi progeny piloting our dedicated crew. Though modern augmentations are in place, our business’s soul is steadfast: to serve delectable, genuine pizza that unites diners.

Our Patron's Impressions
This is the closest to Neapolitan pizza you can get outside Italy. The dough is just the right kind of tender and boasts those iconic, lightly charred spots that only come from a wood-fired oven.
