Our Journey
Crafting genuine Italian pizza with a fervent passion starting from 1985
From Naples to Your Local Community
'WideningPerspective's dream was always clear: to deliver real Neapolitan pizza to Paris. Established by the Thompson lineage in 1985, our pizzeria was initially a humble family endeavor, boasting recipes that spanned multiple generations.
Emily Thompson, the visionary behind our establishment, mastered pizza craftsmanship on her journeys across Italy, gaining insights from esteemed pizzaiolos in Naples, where pizza originated. After her return to the UK, she set out to replicate the enchantment of bona fide Italian pizza, honoring traditional processes and selecting only the premium ingredients.
What started out as a quaint 12-seater has blossomed into a cherished culinary landmark, though our dedication to excellence and authenticity remains steadfast. We continue to employ classic wood-fired methods, knead our dough from scratch daily, and prioritize the procurement of exemplary ingredients.
To this day, ‘WideningPerspective’ is still upheld by its founding family, with the Thompson successors steering our enthusiastic crew. While we have adopted new advancements, the essence of our operation is unaltered: we serve up delectable, traditional pizza that unites people.
Our Core Ideals
Premium Ingredients
Procuring the purest, highest-grade ingredients is at the heart of what we do, building relationships with local producers and Italian suppliers to ensure the signature taste of our dishes.
Conventional Techniques
We remain true to the age-old art of pizza making, with our dough going through a 48-hour process of fermentation and baking inside genuine wood-fired ovens.
Focus on Community
It’s our belief that our role stretches beyond being just a restaurant; we're an integral part of the local fabric, investing in community causes and fostering an inclusive environment for everyone.
Eco-Consciousness
Our pledge to sustainability guides our actions, from mitigating food waste to adopting eco-conscientious packaging and championing sustainable farming practices.
