Caloroso Neapolitan Pizza & Bar is located in Hackney and offers an authentic taste of Naples. The name caloroso means warm-hearted in Italian, and that spirit is reflected in both the food and the atmosphere. Known for its traditional Neapolitan pizzas, the restaurant uses slow-fermented handmade dough, high-quality ingredients and a roaring wood-fired oven to achieve the signature soft-yet-crispy crust that defines this style.
Inside, Caloroso combines rustic charm with modern touches. The newly designed space includes a spacious bar area serving cocktails, mocktails, wines and shots, making it a lively spot for both casual dining and evening drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, ideal for private parties, group gatherings or a laid-back meal with friends.
The menu features a wide range of options, including classic margherita, spicy nduja, and vegan chorizo pizzas. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices are thoughtfully included, ensuring there’s something for everyone. In addition to pizza, guests can enjoy fresh pasta dishes and handmade filo pastry pies called placinte, available with sweet, savoury, meaty or plant-based fillings. These Eastern European-inspired pastries add a unique twist to the offering. Every dish is prepared with care, from the dough to the toppings, and the drinks menu is curated to complement the food. The drinks menu is just as thoughtfully curated as the food, featuring a mix of classic and signature cocktails, refreshing mocktails, carefully selected wines and a variety of spirits that pair perfectly with the bold flavours of the kitchen.
Caloroso also offers takeaway and delivery, making it easy to enjoy their signature dishes at home. Whether you're dining in or ordering out, Caloroso Neapolitan Pizza & Bar delivers a warm, flavourful experience rooted in Italian tradition with a Hackney twist.
