Pizzas & Dreams

We provide catering for weddings and other events. If you have somewhere we can park for a local pop-up event, get in touch!

Nathaniel & Becca are the creators behind Pizzas & Dreams. We launched this business in 2023 fueled by our shared passion for pizza. Nathaniel brings his unique recipe to the table, crafting our distinctive 'house style' dough that promises a puffy and substantial pizza experience. Becca is the person to speak to regarding your upcoming event needs.

As well as tondo, Rome is the home of another extraordinary style of pizza: al taglio. This means pizza 'when sliced', or 'by the slice'. We went to visit the most famous al taglio spot in the world, Gabriele Bonci's Pizzarium.

Rather than being in the shape of a traditional tondo (or round) that we usually associate with pizza, these beauties are baked in sheet pans and you order it by weight/area. Your server will get a pair of pizza scissors and cut you off as much as you want.

One of the best things about baking your pizza in a tray is that you're no longer bound by annoying things such as having to shape it by hand. Bonci takes advantage of this in the most delicious way possible.

When we talk about hydration in dough, we're talking about the amount of water present, relative to the amount of flour. For example, if for every 100g of flour there is 60g of water, we would say that dough is sixty per cent hydrated. In the case of a traditional Neapolitan pizza, hydration tends to be between sixty and sixty five per cent, but Bonci's dough is hydrated to eighty per cent.

Having more water present, which expands and creates bubbles when cooked, ends up producing a much lighter dough. It also uses very little yeast, and is fermented for over seventy hours. So, combining these factors leads to an extraordinarily light and digestible pizza - a hallmark of dough mastery.

Bonci is also a champion of local producers, and features the most inspiring and unusual toppings. Even just to look at, these pizzas are works of art. And to eat them? Well, that's what life's all about. Yum. 😋

As well as making pizza, we love EATING pizza, too! We travel the world, trying every type of pizza there is, in order to enjoy them, understand them and be inspired by them. 😋 🍕

In November, we were in Rome, in order to sample the majesty of Roman-style pizza. One of the first spots we hit up was this one, Remo A Testaccio - an incredible institution. One of the best hood spots in Rome, closer in feel to a trattoria than a ristorante, the pizza is inexpensive and the service is super quick and unobtrusive (with the most hilarious maître d'pizza you'll ever meet).

Serving pizza 'tondo', which literally means round, it's rolled out with a pin in order to make it as flat as possible. It's baked in a wood-fired oven, at a lower temperature than a Napoli-style pizza, sitting closer to 300°C. This means that it cooks through, and one ends up with a beautiful, charred, crispy pizza! They are also so light that one can easily polish off two... Or maybe that's just me. 🤔😏

This ended up being crucial when designing our 'trailer-style' dough, as the crisp is something we really wanted to integrate.

All in, this is one of the most authentic and wonderful pizza spots in Rome. It expresses Roman food at its best: simple, honest and without fuss.

Please note: it wasn't until we visited the next pizzeria that we figured out that you're supposed to cut pizza tondo with your knife upside down (and trust us, it works!) 😬

To everyone that has started following us in the last couple of days (and to everyone that has been following us since the beginning), HELLO!

We wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support, as we enter the bizarre and scary world of mobile pizza! A little bit about ourselves:

Nathaniel is the hat-wielding pizza nerd. He has been a professional cook for over ten years, with his primary passion being for baking: bread, pizza, pastry, cakes and cookies - he loves it all! To that end, it was only natural that he meld his pizzas and his dreams into one. Thus, he's able to bring his passion and knowledge about flavour, balance and construction to the art of making pizza, hence our delicious delicacies!

Bec has been a professional, working in sales and marketing, for decades. She also, thankfully, loves food - and these two facets combine to equal an unstoppable force of passion, power and pizza. She is a formidable woman, with an amazing work ethic and an insatiable appetite to succeed (and eat).

Together, we combine to equal the next generation in the mobile pizza game. We love pizza, we love people, and we love combining the two with our mobile pizza trailer business. So, once again, thank you for following us, and we can't wait to welcome you to the ! 😎🍕
