  • Short Road Pizza
    Short Road PizzaShort Road Pizza was born out lockdown when Kate and Ugo moved to Leytonstone and bought a pizza oven to help keep them busy. As Kate says, “Ugo’s ancestry is in Naples and his Nonno owned a pizza restaurant so it’s in his DNA to nerd out about dough recipes and marrying the perfect flavours on the top.” “We felt a bit at sea in a new neighbourhood during a pandemic so we decided to reach out to our new neighbours with homemade flyers asking if they would like some fortnightly contact free pizz

    Peroni Nastro Azzurro 2021"For us, every coaster served, tells a different story. That’s why we have designed some bespoke linen coasters to elevate each serve, so you can continue your story in true style.

  • The House of Peroni - June 2015
    The House of Peroni - June 2015Inspired by the Italian Piazza – a  space within the city that forms the heart and soul of Italian social life – this Residency featured a metropolitan garden teeming with food, drink, music and more. Think La Dolce Vita minus the Trevi Fountain and you’re part-way there. We enlisted the help of fashion set designer Simon Costin (who once designed catwalks for Alexander McQueen) who helped  to recreate the style of an Italian piazza, with people-watching an all-important part of the experience.
