Il Peperone Piccante is a family-run wood-fired pizza business based in Rochester, Kent, founded by Oliver and Valeria.

Established in 2017, the business was built on a clear principle: authentic pizza made by hand, using traditional techniques and high-quality Italian ingredients.

With nearly three decades of professional experience, Oli personally prepares and stretches every dough by hand, following a process refined through years of working across Europe. The pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven, delivering a light, crisp base and consistent quality without shortcuts or compromises.

Valeria manages customer service, bookings, and event coordination, ensuring every event runs smoothly from first contact to final service. Together, they operate a fully mobile pizza truck serving private parties, weddings, corporate events, festivals, and community gatherings.

Il Peperone Piccante is known for reliability, professionalism, and a genuine passion for craft. Every service is focused on quality, efficiency, and creating a memorable food experience, wherever the oven is fired up.

With almost 30 years of hands-on experience, I am a professional pizza chef specialising in wood-fired pizza.

I have worked across multiple European countries, refining traditional techniques, dough fermentation, and fire management.

Every pizza I make is stretched by hand and baked with precision, focusing on consistency, quality, and authentic flavour.

Since 2017, we have been operating our wood-fired pizza van, bringing authentic pizzas to private events, festivals, and corporate gatherings
