Our Story
We craft genuine Italian pizza with passion that endures since 1985
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'SystemSteadyDiscover' started with one clear dream: to share authentic Neapolitan pizza with London. In 1985, the Smith family opened a small, family-run pizzeria, with recipes passed down through generations.
'Oliver Smith', our founder, learned the craft of pizza-making during travels across Italy, studying under master pizzaiolos in Naples—the birthplace of pizza. Upon returning to the UK, she aimed to recreate the magic of true Italian pizza, using time-honored methods and the finest ingredients.
What began as a modest 12-seat pizzeria has grown into a cherished local institution, yet our commitment to quality and authenticity has never wavered. We still rely on wood-fired oven techniques, prepare our dough daily, and source the highest-quality ingredients available.
Today, 'SystemSteadyDiscover' remains family-owned and operated, with the second generation of the Smith family leading our passionate team. While we’ve embraced some modern enhancements, the heart of our business remains the same: crafting delicious, authentic pizza that brings people together.

What Our Customers Say
The most authentic Neapolitan pizza I've had outside of Italy. The crust is wonderfully chewy with those charred spots that only a wood-fired oven creates.
