Our Story
Creating genuine Italian pizza with dedication from 1985
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
With a humble ambition to bring true Neapolitan pizza to Via Vittorio Emanuele 152, 'KnowLedgeisPower' started. The Bianchi family, in 1985, opened this tiny, family-owned shop with a legacy of recipes passed from generation to generation.
Marco Bianchi, our pioneer, honed their pizza crafting skills across Italy, learning from Neapolitan pizza maestros. Once back in the UK, their mission was to replicate the essence of authentic Italian pizza employing age-old techniques and the finest provisions available.
Our humble 12-seater establishment’s growth into a cherished neighborhood staple hasn't shifted our promise to excellence. We still adhere to the traditional wood-burning oven methods, prepare our dough freshly each day, and select ingredients of unmatched quality.
To this day, 'KnowLedgeisPower' is still steered by the Bianchi lineage, with the next generation leading a team full of fervor. While we've accepted certain modern practices, our ethos remains unaltered: for us, it's about crafting splendid, genuine pizza that fosters community spirit.
Our Values
Quality Ingredients
We ensure every ingredient is the freshest and of the highest grade, cultivated by local producers and imported from Italy for that authentic taste.
Traditional Methods
Employing time-tested practices, we create our pizzas; our dough undergoes a 48-hour fermentation process and is then baked in traditional wood-fired ovens.
Community Focus
Our belief extends beyond being a mere eatery; we are an integral part of the community, supporting local events and offering a place where everyone feels at home.
Sustainability
Our commitment is towards eco-friendly practices, from minimizing food waste to utilizing sustainable packaging and advocating for sustainable farming.

This Neapolitan pizza is the closest thing to what I’ve enjoyed in Italy. The crust is chewy, adorned with signature char marks, a product of a genuine wood-fired oven.
