— 01 / Our Story

New hands.
The same beloved recipes.

Forged by one family, carried by another. The Warehouse was built by a second-generation Italian family who poured their hearts into every dough, every sauce, every late-night service. As they pass on the apron, we're stepping in to keep the fire lit — and the recipes intact.

We've spent years in large-venue Italian kitchens — feeding hundreds, plating to a packed room, learning what it takes to serve real Italian food at scale without losing the soul of it.

What we bring is a family-business mindset and an honest love for Italian food. The kind that gets you to market at 6am for the right tomatoes. The kind that argues over basil. The kind that wants you to feel — when you sit down at our table — like you've been welcomed into someone's home.

— From our family, to yours.

Pizzas baking in the 450°C wood-fired stone oven at The Warehouse Pizzeria, Preston
90sec From dough to plate. That fast.

— 04 / The Oven

Lit at sunset.
Fed all night.

Our wood-fire oven hits 450°C. Dough rises slowly — over days, not hours — and meets the flame for 90 seconds. That's where the leopard spots come from. That's where the smoke lives. That's the difference between a pizza and a true pizza.

We don't take shortcuts. We feed the fire ourselves. We watch the dough proof. We argue about the right amount of basil. It's the only way we know.
