Seneca Pizza

... and Seneca?

Seneca is a stoic philosopher who’s way of thinking Fiona and Maxime love. Some of his words have helped to keep them sane during some crazy times living in the busiest of cities, through the highs and lows, and the crazy process of setting up our own business. We thought you might like him to help keep you sane too...

What’s going on?

We have lovingly restored an old French Vintage Citroen HY van and fitted it with a bespoke, wood-fired ceramic oven, hand crafted for us by MP Forni in Italy.

From this tiny vehicle we aim to provide you with real Neapolitan pizza made from the freshest and most authentic produce we can find, sourced in both Italy and France. We use Caputo 00 flour for our dough, which is rested for a minimum of 24 hours to help make the pizza light and digestible. Our tomatoes are San Marzano DOP, our fior di latte mozzarella is from Campana and our extra virgin olive oil is from Puglia.

As well as providing the classic Margherita, our menu will change with the seasons to ensure absolute freshness and sustainability.

Why?

Why not?! We have a huge love for food, flavour, dough, people and hard work - what else would we do with our time?!

We also feel that true authentic Neapolitan pizza is lacking in Lyon. We may not be Italian but having spent time in Naples and the region, tasting and experiencing the cuisine and culture, and having trained under 2 Naples born pizzaiolos, we’re pretty confident we can give you a real taste of the newly UNESCO recognised dish.
