About Us

Hello,

My obsession with pizza started in 2018. I had no intention of doing anything commercial with it, yet took some time off work and headed off to the Bivero Pizza Academy in Florence to learn how to make good Neapolitan pizza. This involved learning in the academy by day, and taking a role of a pizza chef in the pizzeria every evening - a brilliant way to learn fast.

 

At the start of lock-down, I started Doughies, where we'd deliver a pizza kit to your front door for you to stretch and bake yourself. This proved very popular and over the next 4 years we did events for over 1,500 primary schools, raising money for each school by creating a fun bake-at-home pizza evening for families.

When stopping the kits in December 2024, we were producing around 2,000 pizza kits per week during term time, from our dedicated warehouse facility in Feltham. We use walk-in fridges and a refrigerated fleet of vans to ensure our products are always delivered at the perfect temperature.

We also run a small pizzeria in Worcester Park called Peeps Pizza which serves as a showcase of our dough. We live this business and understand the flexibility required to make it successful.

Our business now focuses solely on producing dough for great pizzerias. We do this by becoming a close partner with you, working together to ensure your dough is made to best represent your style of pizza, and we have the ability to scale your volume as needed.

We produce dough for restaurants, pubs, mobile pizza businesses and festivals, where the customer may be limited by the space or resources to consistently produce their own dough. We also do this for restaurants going through expansion, in order to provide a consistent product across multiple locations.

I hope you love the concept of what we're doing. If you have any questions or need some help, please reach out via email, and let's have a chat.

Yours in pizza,
Calan Horsman
