After running a series of pop-ups and residences, Andrea Asciuti opened a permanent 081 Pizzeria restaurant in Peckham in 2023 and it quickly became one of south London’s go-to pizza joints – it was even listed as one of the 50 Top Pizzas in Europe. Two years later, he added a second in Shoreditch. Neapolitan pizza and Naples-inspired tapas is the name of the game, with pizzas like the Napoli RMX (tomato, burrata, anchovies, olives & capers), the Maradona (smoked mozzarella, Italian sausage & wild broccoli), and the Parmigiana (tomato, mozzarella, fried aubergines & parmesan) on the menu alongside arancini, deep-fried aubergine balls, croquettes and pistachio doughnuts for pud.
