Cinquecento Neapolitan Pizzeria is the original restaurant in the group, opened at 1 Cale Street in Chelsea in 2019. Founders Emanuele and Melo created it around the food traditions they grew up with in Italy, giving the dining room the warmth of a neighbourhood pizzeria. Dine in, collection and delivery options make its food accessible for both relaxed meals and evenings at home.
Every pizza starts with dough kneaded fresh each day and left to ferment for up to 48 hours. Stone crushed Italian flour helps create an airy texture and soft bite before each base is baked at high heat in a Neapolitan oven. San Marzano tomatoes, Italian cheeses, cured meats and vegetables keep the recipes closely connected to their regional origins.
Marinara and margherita show the simpler side of the menu, while piccante, capricciosa, Napoli and Calabria build fuller combinations of salami, anchovy, olives, artichokes, sausage and chilli. Vegetarian choices include Sicilia with aubergine and salted ricotta, Tartufata with mushrooms and truffle oil, and pizzas topped with burrata. Filled ripieno and sausage with friarielli add further Neapolitan favourites.
Antipasti and salads offer smaller dishes before the pizza, followed by Italian desserts and coffee. Wine, beer and soft drinks complete the meal without distracting from the central focus on dough and carefully sourced ingredients. The cosy setting can also host private events, giving groups an intimate Chelsea space built around generous Italian food.
