Pizza, the way Pepe taught us.

Two countries, one recipe.

Alan Balsamini grew up between the Yorkshire Dales and his godfather Pepe's Italian kitchen. Pepe taught him every recipe by hand — the dough hydration, the tomato choice, the way the dough should sound when it's ready.

Today, those recipes live on Settle's high street. The same San Marzano tomatoes Pepe used. The same '00' flour. The same patience.

Built for collection.

Balsamini is a small Settle pizzeria, not a delivery chain. Every order is made for a collection slot, boxed at 41 Duke Street and handed over fresh for the short walk back to the car or home.

If you are searching for pizza in Settle on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night, pre-order online or by WhatsApp, park at FH Ellis's, and collect from the corner by the Post Office.

No delivery,
no waiting around.

Collection only keeps the kitchen focused and the timing clearer. It also means the pizzas spend less time travelling and more time being eaten while they are still at their best.

Walk-ins are possible when the kitchen has room, but collection slots are the safest way to plan a weekend pizza night in Settle.
