Our Story
Since 1985, we've been dedicated to creating genuine Italian pizza with a touch of zeal.
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'SilentMarineRow' began with a vision of introducing true Neapolitan pizza to Roma. Established by the Rossi family in 1985, our pizza shop was initially a quaint, family-directed endeavor with recipes passed down many generations.
Marco Rossi, our founder, mastered the pizza craft on her journeys across Italy, receiving guidance from expert pizza chefs in Naples — the birthplace of pizza. Returning to the UK, she was resolved to recreate the pure Italian pizza experience, adopting conventional techniques and selecting only the finest ingredients.
What started as a cozy 12-seat pizza parlor has flourished into a cherished community establishment, yet our dedication to excellence and genuine process remains steadfast. We continue to employ classic wood-fired ovens, prepare our dough from scratch every day, and procure the most superior ingredients available.
Nowadays, 'SilentMarineRow' is still in the hands of the family, with the Rossi’s second-generation at the helm of our enthusiastic team. While we have welcomed some new methods, our core mission persists: to serve delectable, true pizza that unites people.

The quintessence of Neapolitan pizza you can find beyond Italian borders. A crust that’s just right in its chewiness, adorned with gorgeous charred speckles – all thanks to the wood-fired oven.
