Having trained a Michelin-rated pizzeria in Naples, they cater for events and weddings all year round, as well as having various regular spots around the North-East.

Based around West Sussex, The Pizza Oven quote their ethos as “street food, restaurant quality”. Converting the skills they have accumulated through years of cooking for their families, partners Emma and Helen created their brand back in 2012. Their converted van with a wood-fire oven enables them to travel and share their food with new people at festivals, local events and weddings. Thin and crispy slices are their speciality with the finest ingredients, many of which are imported from Sardinia and elsewhere in Italy.

The travelling pizzaioli from Brighton, Garden Grove have been regulars on the festival circuit having traded at Glastonbury and many others across the UK and Europe since their launch in 2013. Conscious about the environment and helping their community; their vehicle mostly runs on biodiesel and they aim to donate any leftover food to FareShare, a non-profit organisation that fights poverty and homelessness in and around Brighton and Hove. As for the pizzas, customers should expect traditional recipes with a twist for today’s taste buds according to the founder himself, Stefano, who spent years with his family growing and cooking food from scratch in Greece and across Europe.

NY Fold – www.nyfold.com

American owners, Annabel and Michael, saw a gap in the market for the traditional New York style slices in London and so in 2015, they opened NY Fold. Working with master pizzaiolo, Bruno DiFabio, with 6 world pizza titles under his belt, the new Soho-based pizza brand was established. Festival goers should look out for their Big Apple style slices in a range of vegetarian and meat toppings on the day.

Villa Bianca Group – www.villabiancagroup.co.uk

A Italian family-owned small chain of restaurants based in Hampstead, London, the Villa Bianca group will be putting together a 10 oven set up to MySliceFest.

They’ll be serving the traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas that you can find at their restaurants (Peter’s, Piccola and Villa Bianca), along with new concoctions created just for the festival including Nutella dessert pizza.

Van Si, managing director of XclusiveTouch Ltd (the festival’s partner company) said: “We wanted all of our pizza vendors for MySliceFest to be independent brands and we’re very excited about the companies we’ve got on board. The festival is in its first year and everyone has been enthusiastic about making their menus exclusive to MySliceFest meaning they all boast a unique selling point which we predict will be a hit with customers.”
