Our Heritage
Devotedly creating genuine Italian pizza with enthusiasm since 1985
From the Heart of Naples to Every Block
'MellowStreamGlade originated from a humble vision: to share true Neapolitan pizza with Rome. Established by the Rossi kin in 1985, our pizza shop started out as a quaint, family-owned business with recipes passed on for generations.
Marco Rossi, our pioneer, refined her pizza crafting skills during her voyages across Italy, apprenticing with renowned pizzaiolos in Naples—the pizza’s homeland. After coming back to the UK, she became devoted to reproducing the essence of authentic Italian pizza, staying true to time-honored techniques and using only the best ingredients.
What commenced as a cozy 12-seat pizza joint has flourished into a cherished neighborhood gem, while our dedication to excellence and authenticity remained steadfast. We are still faithful to the traditional wood-burning oven methods, prepare our dough from scratch each day, and seek out the best ingredients available.
To this day, 'MellowStreamGlade is held by the same family, with the Rossi's second generation now at the helm of our enthusiastic crew. Although we've incorporated a few contemporary upgrades, the core of our trade stays unaltered: making sumptuous, authentic pizzas that bring folks together.
Our Principles
Fine Ingredients
We procure only the best, premium ingredients, joining forces with nearby growers and Italian suppliers to guarantee genuine tastes.
Age-old Techniques
We make our pizzas through ancestral methods, allowing our dough to ferment for 48 hours and baking it in bona fide wood-fired ovens.
Community-Centric
We aim to be more than just an eatery—we are a hub of activity in our locality, championing communal events and providing a warm environment for everyone.
Eco-Consciousness
We are steadfast in our dedication to sustainable practices, from curtailing food waste to opting for environmentally-friendly containers and backing sustainable farming.

Hear from Our Patrons
This is the closest to genuine Neapolitan pizza I've savored outside Italy. The crust is just the right level of fluffy with the distinctive charred patches you only get from a wood-burning oven.

I admire that 'MellowStreamGlade champions the use of local produce and eco-friendly routines. The difference is notable in every slice. Their rotating menu of specials is a perennially exciting moment.
