Big Mamma Group's Napoli Gang to open London pizza shop

Big Mamma Group is to open the first permanent London pizza shop for its Napoli Gang delivery brand in May.

The French-owned group, which runs London restaurants Gloria, Circolo Popolare and Ave Mario, launched Napoli Gang in August 2020 after the pandemic caused its venues to close.

It has since expanded the concept across London and internationally to Paris, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, and Madrid.

Napoli Gang’s first pizza shop will open in Ladbroke Grove in mid-May and offer dishes to click and collect, take away or for delivery.

Its menu will include pizzas, arancini, fresh pasta and Puglian burrata.

Interiors have been designed by Big Mamma’s in-house design studio, Studio Kiki, and will include bright pink neon signs and custom graffiti, while retro MTV music videos will be projected on the walls.

Big Mamma Group is also understood to be opening a fourth London restaurant on the former HSBC bank site on Kensington High Street in London.
