Our Narrative
Devotedly creating genuine Italian pizzas with ardor from 1985
From the Heart of Naples to Your Community
'ExploringSystems started with a singular vision: to share true Neapolitan pizza with Rome. Established by the Rossi lineage in 1985, our little pizzeria originated as a cozy, family-directed venture with generations-old recipes.
Marco Rossi, our progenitor, mastered pizza craft during her expeditions across Italy, especially from skilled pizza makers in Naples—the cradle of pizza. After she settled back in the UK, her aim was to replicate the essence of authentic Italian pizza, utilizing age-old methods and the top-notch ingredients.
Our journey from a humble 12-seater pizzeria to a much-loved community staple has seen much growth, yet our dedication to craft and authentic taste stands strong. We continue employing traditional wood-fired ovens, preparing our dough from scratch each day, and choosing only the best ingredients available.
Still led by the Rossi family, with the second generation at the helm, 'ExploringSystems' keeps its family-operated essence, mixing in some novel innovations but keeping the soul centered on crafting delectable, genuine pizzas that unite our patrons.

Classical Techniques
We create our pizzas through historic pizza-making traditions, including a dough that ferments for two full days and the use of genuine wood-burning ovens for baking.
Community Engagement
Our belief extends beyond being a mere eatery—we strive to be an integral part of our locale, fostering community spirit and providing a place where everyone feels at home.

Praises from Our Patrons
This pizza is as close to what I remember from Italy as it gets. The dough has just the right chewiness, and the golden char that only comes from authentic wood-fired pizza.
Christopher Evans
I'm impressed by 'ExploringSystems's commitment to local sourcing and green practices. The quality really shines through in each slice. Looking forward to their next seasonal creation!

I've frequented this spot for a long while, and the consistency in excellence is solid. They make you feel right at home, and the pizzas are divine—a must-try is their Mushroom Delight pizza, minus the truffles.
