Our Journey
Since 1985, passionately creating genuine Italian pizza
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'SilverCoast started with a humble dream: to deliver true Neapolitan pizza to Brooklyn, New York. Established by the Thompson lineage in 1985, our humble pizzeria had its beginnings as a quaint, family-operated business with recipes passed down for generations.
The artisan of our pizzeria, Emily Thompson, perfected her pizza-crafting skills during her Italian escapades, apprenticing with veteran pizzaiolos in Naples—where pizza originated. After her time in Italy, she was committed to bringing the essence of Italian pizza-making to the UK, strictly following established techniques and using only top-grade ingredients.
What originally started as a simple 12-seat eatery has expanded into a cherished local staple, though our dedication to premium quality and genuine craftsmanship has not faltered. We adhere to traditional wood-fired oven methods, prepare our pizza dough from scratch each day, and meticulously select the best ingredients available.
Today, 'SilverCoast' continues to be a family-run enterprise, with the Thompsons' second generation now at the helm of our enthusiastic crew. While we've incorporated contemporary advancements, the essence of our work remains unchanged: we're about making delectable, genuine pizza that unites everyone around the table.
Our Core Principles
Fine Ingredients
We prioritize the finest and freshest ingredients, collaborating with neighborhood growers and Italian suppliers to ensure the truest flavors.
Conventional Techniques
Pizza-making is an art we cherish using old-world traditions, with our dough undergoing a 48-hour fermentation process and baked in genuine wood-heated ovens.
Focus on Community
We are committed to being more than a mere eatery by actively engaging with our community, fostering local events, and creating a space where everyone is welcomed.
Eco-Consciousness
We engage in practices that respect the environment, from minimizing food waste to choosing eco-conscious packaging and endorsing sustainable farming practices.

This is the closest to authentic Neapolitan pizza I've savored outside Italy. The crust has a perfect texture with those distinctive char spots only a traditional oven can achieve.
