Our Journey
Creating genuine Italian pizzas with heart since 1985
From Naples to Your Doorstep
'EvenKeelAccess started with a humble dream: to share true Neapolitan pizza with London. Established by the Wilson family in 1985, our cozy pizzeria began as a small, family-owned spot with time-honored recipes handed down through generations.
'Oliver Wilson, 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 resolved to recreate the magic of authentic Italian pizza, using traditional methods and the finest ingredients.
What began as a modest 12-seat pizzeria has grown into a beloved local institution, yet our commitment to quality and authenticity has never wavered. We still use the same wood-fired oven techniques, ferment dough daily, and source the highest quality ingredients we can find.
Today, 'EvenKeelAccess remains family-owned and operated, with the second generation of the Wilson family now leading our passionate team. While we've embraced some modern innovations, the heart of our business stays the same: creating 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 only a wood-fired oven can create.
