Every pizza has a story, and ours begins in the heart of South Wales. At Welsh Italian Pizza Co., we’ve always believed that great pizza is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. From the very first dough we stretched to the sizzling pizzas we serve at bustling pop-up events, our journey has been one of passion, quality, and community.
Today, our mobile pizza business, The Pizza Van, takes us across South Wales, serving freshly made, hand-stretched, Italian-inspired pizzas at business parks, pubs, and retail locations. But how did we get here? Let’s take a look at our story.
The Spark of Inspiration
Like every good pizza, our story starts with a spark of inspiration. Growing up, food was at the heart of our family gatherings. Sharing homemade meals was more than just sustenance—it was a way to connect and celebrate.
Inspired by the vibrant street food scene and a love for Italian cuisine, we set out to create something special: a pizza business that combined the authenticity of Neapolitan-style pizza with the warmth and charm of Welsh hospitality. We saw an opportunity to bring freshly made, high-quality pizza to local communities and events in South Wales, and Welsh Italian Pizza Co. was born.
The Early Days
The early days were filled with excitement, challenges, and plenty of lessons learned. Starting as a small catering business, we quickly gained a reputation for our dedication to quality and the unbeatable taste of our pizzas. Our dough, hand-stretched and made fresh every day, became a hallmark of our brand.
One of our proudest milestones was serving our first large event—it was a whirlwind of flour, toppings, and smiles, and we loved every second of it. Those moments solidified our mission: to bring the joy of authentic, freshly made pizza to as many people as possible.
From Welsh Italian Pizza Co. to The Pizza Van
As the demand for our pizzas grew, so did our ambitions. We wanted to bring our pizzas to even more people, and that’s when The Pizza Van was born. Our mobile pizza van allows us to pop up at business parks, pubs, and retail locations, bringing the same quality and passion that started it all.
The Pizza Van also gave us the flexibility to cater to both small, intimate gatherings and large-scale events like weddings and parties. Whether it’s a lunchtime treat at a business park or a centrepiece at a wedding, The Pizza Van has become a staple of community events across South Wales.
What Sets Us Apart
At The Pizza Van, we believe it’s the little things that make a big difference. Every pizza we make starts with freshly prepared, hand-stretched dough, topped with the finest ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. Our commitment to quality ensures that every bite is as delicious as the last.
But it’s not just about the pizza—it’s about the experience. We pride ourselves on bringing a sense of joy and community to every event we attend. Whether it’s a family enjoying pizza at a pub garden or colleagues grabbing a quick lunch at a business park, we’re here to create memorable moments.
The Journey Ahead
As we look to the future, our vision is clear: to continue sharing our love for pizza with the people of South Wales. We’re always on the lookout for new pop-up locations and partnerships, and we’re excited to keep evolving our menu with seasonal and creative options.
We’re proud to call South Wales home, and we’re committed to supporting local communities and businesses. Whether you’re in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, or beyond, we’d love to bring The Pizza Van to your neighbourhood.
Conclusion
Our journey from Welsh Italian Pizza Co. to The Pizza Van has been one of passion, perseverance, and plenty of pizza dough. We couldn’t have done it without the support of our loyal customers and partners, and we’re excited to see what the future holds.
