Raymond and Tony MacHugh had been immersed in the restaurant industry for 25 years, but something was always missing. No matter where they went, they could never find pizza that lived up to their incredible experiences in Italy. So, they set out on a life-changing trip to Naples to see if the city that created the world’s best pizza could answer their questions. Strolling through the city's lively streets, they were struck by the vibrant food culture and, most of all, the pizza. Every corner seemed to lead them to another bustling pizzeria, filled with the aroma of freshly baked dough, families laughing, and the unmistakable sight of pizza that was nothing short of extraordinary.
They savoured pizzas crafted with care and precision; each bit was more delicious than the last. There was something special about how the pizza in Naples tasted—rich, authentic, and deeply connected to the city's heritage. It wasn't just food but an experience, a way of life. That trip ignited a spark in them. They knew they had to bring this piece of Naples back home.
Returning to Ireland with a renewed sense of purpose, they set out to recreate the taste of Naples and the feeling that came with it. Drawing on their decades of experience, they combined their knowledge of the restaurant world with the inspiration they had gathered in Naples. Their goal was to create a place where people could gather and enjoy truly special pizza—pizza that transported you to the streets of Naples with every bite.
