Napoli on the Road to launch in Richmond

On 5 July, Neapolitan pizzeria Napoli on the Road, will be launching its second restaurant in Richmond.

Napoli on the Road is known for its seasonal approach, with an ever-changing menu designed to reflect the bounty of each season.

Designed with a blend of modern and rustic elements, the interior of Napoli on the Road Richmond features an open kitchen that allows guests to witness the artistry of the pizzaiolos as they hand-stretch the dough and assemble each pizza.

Head chef and founder Michele Pascarella was recently been awarded Pizza Maker of the Year 2023, having started his business by wandering around with his three-wheeler Ape Piaggio making wood-fired pizzas all over London. Recognised as the first pizzaiolo to bring contemporary high-crust pizza to the UK, Michele is now considered a 'pioneer of contemporary pizza'. 

Other menu highlights include unforgettable pizzas such as the Cheesewick – topped with buffalo mozzarella DOP, ricotta cheese, stracciatella di bufala, blue stilton, parmesan chips and piennolo cherry tomato jam; Ricordi D’infanzia (which translates as childhood memories), made with 12-hour-slow-cooked ragu napoletano and 24-month parmigiano reggiano cream; and the new Tonno & Scarola, featuring fresh fior di latte from Caserta, crunchy escarole, semi-dry cherry tomato, tuna fillets from Cetara, black olive powder and sweet reduction of red onion. Although pizza takes centre stage at the restaurant, there are a number of other Italian dishes available too.

Founder Michele Pascarella says of the upcoming launch: "This is a really exciting launch for us – it's incredible to be opening a new pizzeria in Richmond, which is all down to the support of our loyal customers. I can’t wait to introduce our seasonal flavours and unique way of doing things to the Richmond community."
