Our Narrative
Since 1985, imbuing genuine Italian pizza with our love
From Naples to Your Local Community
'Crust & Charms Pizzeria' had one humble goal: to introduce true Neapolitan pizza to Munich. The Rossi family opened a quaint family-operated pizza place in 1985, which has its roots in ancestral recipes.
Marco Rossi, our progenitor, picked up the intricacies of pizza-crafting throughout Italy, particularly from experts in Naples, the pizza's birthplace. Once back in the UK, her resolve was strong to replicate the essence of Italian pizza, emphasizing traditional techniques and selecting top-tier ingredients.
Our original tiny establishment with only 12 seats expanded into a cherished local sensation, though our devotion to excellence and genuine preparation remained steadfast. We continue to employ wood-fired ovens, create our dough from scratch every day, and select the finest ingredients available.
Today, 'Crust & Charms Pizzeria' is still under the management of the Rossi lineage, with the next generation steering our dedicated team. While we've adopted new advances, our core mission endures: crafting delectable, honest pizzas that gather everyone around the table.
Our Principles
Premium Ingredients
Our quest for top-notch, freshest ingredients takes us to local farmers and purveyors of Italian goods for genuine taste experiences.
Ancient Craftsmanship
We adhere to classical techniques to create our pizzas, including a dough that’s left to ferment for 48 hours and then baked in traditional wood-fired ovens.
Community Involvement
Our belief goes beyond serving food; we strive to be an integral part of our locality, by engaging in community activities and cultivating a place of hospitality.
Eco-Friendly Practices
Our dedication to the environment is seen in our efforts to minimize food waste, utilizing sustainable packaging, and supporting eco-conscious farming.

This is the closest to genuine Neapolitan pizza I've ever tasted outside of Italy. The crust is exquisitely chewy, adorned with those distinctive char marks that only the intensity of a wood-fired oven can produce.
