Our Story
Since 1985, creating genuine Italian pizza with dedication
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'HushHarbor started with an ambition: to introduce real Neapolitan pizza to Lyon. Established by the Bianchi household in 1985, we were a quaint pizzeria with age-old family recipes.
Marco Bianchi, the pioneer, honed her pizza craft by learning from Neapolitan experts, where pizza originated. After her journey through Italy, she was committed to offering an authentic Italian pizza experience using time-tested processes and select ingredients in the UK.
Our once small 12-seater has evolved into a cherished neighborhood gem, but our dedication to high-quality, genuine pizza stays strong. We uphold traditional wood-fired oven practices, prepare our dough from scratch every day, and insist on the best ingredients available.
Now, 'HushHarbor' is still in the family, with the Bianchi lineage steering the team. Embracing new techniques without compromising our essence, we pride ourselves on delivering the joy of authentic pizza to our community.

This is as close as it gets to authentic Neapolitan pizza outside Italy. The crust strikes that sublime balance of chewy and charred that's a signature of a true wood-fired oven.
