Our Story

Our Story
LED BY AUTHENTICITY. GUIDED BY REBEL CULTURE.

For over a decade, we travelled across the UK and Europe, slapping pizzas for the masses — rain or shine. From weddings to urban dwellings, street food spots to festival plots, we trailblazed the circuit with 3 mobile pizzerias and the most overlooked ingredient in Neapolitan pizza: passion.

The road made us. Chiang Mai gave us roots.

Our History
An American family business with a long history of coffee making. Best coffee shop in the city.

About Us

Our pizzas follow strict Neapolitan tradition, but with our own rebellious edge. We ferment our dough the slow way. We bring our family-harvested oregano in from the Pelion mountains of Greece.

Everything here is done with purpose—from our hand-made ancient grain sourdough smuggled in from Naples, to the choice of music and the design of our pizzeria.
