Our Story
The Passion Behind The Piccolo Box
The story behind the pizza, the people and the passion that help make every event feel special.
We Are The Piccolo Box
SMALL NAME. BIG FLAVOUR
When you're planning an event, the food is never just the food. It helps set the atmosphere, brings people together and often becomes one of the moments guests remember most.
That's the thinking behind The Piccolo Box.
After falling in love with Naples, its food and its culture, Matt set out to create a catering experience centred around authentic Italian pizza and warm, personal service.
More Than Just Pizza
What started as a personal passion has grown into one of the South West's most sought-after pizza catering companies, serving weddings, private celebrations, corporate events and weekly pop-ups.
While the business has grown, the philosophy hasn't changed: make exceptional pizza, look after people properly and help create memorable occasions.

The Piccolo Box was hired for my friends birthday party, which was the first time I’d seen them, however I was amazed by the quality! The pizza was 11/10. Can’t recommend them enough.

Had amazing pizza from Piccolo this evening at the Alhampton Inn pop up. Smiley and quick service. All 3 pizzas were perfect and went great with a cold pint in the sun. Definitely recommend for events.

Our Craft
WHAT MAKES A PICCOLO BOX PIZZA
We’ve spent years perfecting our process, from slow-fermented dough and rich Italian tomatoes to fresh mozzarella, award-winning pepperoni and golden stone-baked crusts cooked the authentic Neapolitan way.
A 200-year-old Italian secret
We use Molino Dallagiovanna, one of Italy's most respected flour mills, and a long fermentation process. What happens after that is between us and the oven. You'll have to come and try one yourself.
Italian tomatoes, hand-milled
Imported Italian tomatoes, hand-milled the day we use them, with nothing added that doesn't need to be there. Bright, fresh, and the right kind of taste, the way pizza sauce should taste.
The good stuff on top
Traditional fior di latte mozzarella, rich and stringy the way it should be. Hand-sliced Italian salami. Multi-award-winning, beechwood-smoked pepperoni, naturally cured with no added nitrites.
Stone-baked at 400°C
Cooked on the stone at 400°C, the authentic Neapolitan way. Crisp base, soft middle, leoparded crust, all in under 90 seconds. Pizza, you’re going to want another slice of every time.
