The Pizzico family's story began in the idyllic Italian village of Cavriana, where their love and passion for pizza was ignited. After relocating to Wigan, they realised there was something missing from their new life in the UK- their home comfort of authentic Italian pizza. Taking matters in their own hands, they used their culinary expertise and uncompromising passion for pizza to transport an authentic Italian dining experience all the way to Wigan- and the Pizzico restaurant/ coffee shop was born!

The site they chose was big on charm but limited on kitchen space. This meant they required an oven that wouldn’t take up too much footprint while still being a powerhouse. They were aware of the world renowned pizza oven manufacturers, Cuppone, a fellow Italian family business whose name had become synonymous with quality. The Pizzico family knew Cuppone would have the right pizza oven to complete their authentic Italian dining concept. Cuppone’s Donatello oven met their every need; its compact 4x12” stature frees up plenty of floor space while its powerful performance can fire out around 80 pizzas in just 4 hours to efficiently meet their high demand. The Donatello’s cordierite stone base and cooking elements react perfectly with Pizzico’s unique dough recipe to produce pizzas parallel to their Italian inspiration.

Pizzico’s hybrid classic/ Neapolitan style pizzas are a hit with Wigan workers seeking something special for their lunchbreak. Their most popular dishes include their flavour packed Salami Piccante or their to-die-for Diavola.

Anna, business owner of Pizzico, describes their Donatello as “great quality at a very fair price.”
