were looking down on me.
"I didn’t have much, but I had dreams. Dreams that seemed huge at the time, yet turned out to be small compared to what life had planned for me. I used to walk around central London thinking: 'Will I ever be able to create something big, something truly my own, here in the heart of London?'
"Then came the food truck, my first little kingdom. All mine: my hands, my sweat, my wild ideas.
From that moment on, step by step, I never looked back.
"Now I’m here, about to open my biggest pizzeria ever, right in the heart London, in the heart of Soho, on Wardour Street. I won’t lie, I’m scared. I’m afraid this might be too big, too much. But I’m proud. So proud. Because I made it with my own hands, with my partners, with all the people who in these 15 years in London have lifted me up, knocked me down, pushed me forward.
"And I need to say thank you: to London, for embracing me from day one, for giving me an energy like nowhere else in the world. This autumn, NotR will meet Soho and I can’t wait. Because this time, we have the space to dream even bigger.
"See you in autumn, 140 Wardour street, Soho."
