Our Narrative
Since 1985, creating authentic Italian pizzas with a deep-rooted passion.
Naples to Your Block
'EquipoiseCommons started with a humble vision: to share genuine Neapolitan pizza with Rome. Established by the Romano kin in 1985, our small family-owned pizza shop began with handed-down recipes passing through the ages.
Marco Romano, our pioneer, mastered the craft of pizza in her Italian voyages, apprenticing with Neapolitan pizza masters. Once she returned to the UK, her mission was to reproduce that authentic Italian pizza magic, maintaining original techniques and sourcing top-notch ingredients.
From our early days as a simple 12-seater eatery, we've become a cherished cornerstone of local dining, never straying from our dedication to excellence and tradition. We faithfully follow wood-oven baking, prepare our dough each day, and prioritize the best ingredients available.
'EquipoiseCommons' is still held by the family, with the new generation of the Romano clan at the helm of our devoted crew. While we've adapted some newer approaches, our core remains intact: making delectable, genuine pizzas that unite folks.
What We Stand For
Premium Ingredients
We procure the most pristine, superior ingredients, partnering with domestic growers and Italian suppliers to maintain true-to-origin tastes.
Heirloom Techniques
Each pizza we serve is shaped by long-established practices, our dough undergoing a 48-hour fermentation process and baked in genuine wood-fired ovens.
Focus on Community
We see ourselves as more than a restaurant - we're an integral part of the local fabric, backing community projects and fostering a space where everyone's welcome.
Commitment to Sustainability
Dedicated to ecologically conscious efforts, we strive to curtail food wastage, utilize eco-conscious packing, and support sustainable farming practices.

This is the closest to authentic Neapolitan pizza I've savored outside of Italy. The dough is just the right kind of tender with that iconic char that only a true wood oven can achieve.
