Our Story

Born in
East London

Chef preparing pizza toppings
Pizza on a peel ready for the oven

Forno started as a single wood-fired oven in a Shoreditch courtyard. No signage, no bookings—just great pizza and word of mouth. That was 2018.

We were a crew of three: a baker who couldn’t stop experimenting with fermentation, a forager who knew every supplier in a 50-mile radius, and a friend with a courtyard and a dream.

Today the courtyard has a roof and the crew has grown. But the obsession hasn’t changed—source the finest ingredients, respect the craft, let the oven do the talking.

“We’re not reinventing pizza.
We’re just obsessed with it.”
