Food

Established in lockdown, using portable pizza ovens in our East Bristol back garden to serve friends and neighbours - we grew into a city-wide delivery service, then a lively pop-up in a shared arts space. Always guided by fresh ingredients, a passion for hospitality, and our Sardinian-Italian heritage, we're proud to continue serving you our naturally leavened, slow-fermented sourdough pizzas - now in a restaurant of our own.
