Bosco Pizzeria
Bosco is a neighbourhood pizzeria inspired by the best pizzerias of Naples and New York City.
A lot of inspiration was taken from what these guys were doing but the key for us was to develop a recipe that was our own. So together with a bunch of like-minded friends we set about creating our perfect pizza. It’s been a long process, we’ve tasted a lot of dough and eaten a lot of pizza, but we’re happy with the result. Although our intention was to serve just pizza we felt we couldn’t leave out the other amazing dishes we had tasted. So in the end our little pizzeria has become a collection of our favourite dishes from our travels around Italy.
