Our Story
With a dedication to genuine Italian pizza, we've been creating with love since 1985
From Naples to Your Neighborhood
'BreezeForum sprang from a single vision: sharing true Neapolitan pizza with Edinburgh. Established by the Taylor household in 1985, our small pizzeria was born, steeped in family tradition and recipes passed from one generation to the next.
Emily Taylor, our founder, honed her pizza-making craft while exploring Italy, learning from Neapolitan pizza experts. When she returned to the UK, her mission was to offer a slice of Italian authenticity, using time-tested techniques and premium components.
Our humble 12-seat venue has evolved into a cherished fixture, yet our focus on excellence and genuine tastes remains untouched. We continue to employ our traditional wood-fired ovens, prepare fresh dough daily, and select the finest produce available.
'BreezeForum is still a family venture, with the Taylor's next generation at the helm and an enthusiastic crew behind them. Although we've integrated some contemporary advancements, at our core, we persist in baking delightful, genuine pizza that unites friends and family.

What Our Customers Say
This is the closest thing to a true Neapolitan pizza that I've encountered outside Italy. The dough is just the right kind of chewy, with those distinctive, charred marks that only come from a real wood-fired oven.
Robert Smith
I appreciate that 'BreezeForum' is committed to sourcing locally and upholding sustainable practices. The difference in the culinary experience is noticeable with every mouthful. Their seasonal creations are always worth anticipating!
Elizabeth Green
I've been a patron for many years, and the standard of quality always remains high. The staff are as welcoming as family, and the pizza is divine, true to 'BreezeForum's reputation. The Truffle Mushroom pizza is not to be missed!
