News from the oven

Fiamma has
a new homeon the river at Darley Abbey Mills

Every Thursday evening we light up The Brasserie at Darleys and fill it with the smell of blistering dough, bubbling San Marzano and melting Fior di Latte.

It is the same Fiamma you know, with the same slow-fermented dough and the same stubborn love of real Italian ingredients, now served at the table with a glass of something nice beside it, in one of Derby's loveliest riverside dining rooms.

Book in for the night, bring the people you like eating with, and let the pizza do the rest.

From dough
to fire

Every pizza takes the long way round, and you can taste every step of it.

01

Time does the work

Italian flour, water, salt and time. Our dough ferments slowly, developing flavour and structure for a light, airy cornicione.

02

Shaped by hand

Every dough ball is opened by hand, gently pushed and stretched from the centre out, keeping the air where it belongs, in the crust.

03

Real ingredients

San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di Latte Mozzarella Napoli, Parmigiano and fresh basil, and not a lot else. Good ingredients don’t need hiding.

The final 90 seconds

Intense heat transforms the dough in moments: rising, blistering and charring for a crisp base and light, airy cornicione with its characteristic leopard spotting.

The cornicione

That puffed, blistered cornicione around the edge is the whole point. Tear it, dip it in our Fiamma Garlic & Herb Dip, and you’ll understand.

Then it's
all yours.

Our story

Family-run,
fired with passionthat is the whole recipe

Fiamma is Lee, Lisa and Eljay, a small family-run pizzeria that has always believed a pizza is only ever as good as what goes into it and the care it gets along the way. We open every dough ball by hand, and between us we would rather do a few things properly than a lot of things just about.

So the dough is slow-fermented until it is light and full of flavour, the flour is Italian, the tomatoes are San Marzano and the mozzarella is Fior di Latte from Napoli. Everything else on the menu is chosen the same way, one good ingredient at a time.

Luigi

You hire, we bring the fire.

Luigi is our pizza van, and wherever he parks up, the fire comes with him. While our focus is on Thursdays at Darleys, we're taking on a small number of selected weddings and private events, so if you've got a day in mind, tell us about it and we'll see if we can make it happen.
