Our Journey
Since 1985, dedicated to masterfully creating genuine Italian pizzas with dedication and love
From Naples to Your Community
'CommunityIndexPortal started with a modest vision: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to London. Established by the Rossi lineage in 1985, our pizza place was originally a quaint family-owned business with generational secret recipes.
Marco Rossi, the visionary behind our brand, perfected her pizza-making craft by apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples, where the pizza tradition began. After returning to the UK, she was committed to replicating the essence of genuine Italian pizza, adhering to age-old techniques and selecting only the finest raw ingredients.
Our small 12-seater pizza restaurant has matured into a cherished neighborhood gem, yet our devotion to excellence and originality remains constant. We continue to employ classic wood-burning ovens, prepare our dough daily, and prioritize premium quality ingredients in all our dishes.
Currently, 'CommunityIndexPortal' is still under the ownership and guidance of the Rossi family's second generation, guiding our enthusiastic crew. While we have introduced some contemporary touches, the core of our ethos is unchanged: crafting delectable, genuine pizzas that unite friends and family.
Our Principles
Premium Ingredients
We procure the freshest ingredients of the utmost quality, partnering with local growers and authentic Italian suppliers to promise genuine taste sensations.
Classic Techniques
We produce our pizzas using venerable methods where the dough is left to ferment for 48 hours and baked in traditional wood-fired ovens.
Community Oriented
We strive to be more than a dining spot by playing an integral role in our locality, backing community projects, and fostering a space that welcomes everyone.
Eco-Friendly Endeavors
Our commitment is towards eco-conscious practices, from minimizing food waste to utilizing sustainable packing and promoting responsible farming.

This is the closest to Neapolitan pizza you can savor outside Italy. The dough is just the right blend of chewy and crispy, with the characteristic char spots that come only from a wood-fire oven.
