"Named after Asciuti's wife, Connie, and inspired by his daughter Lili - born into both British and Italian culture - Connie's is the UK's first Bri-talian pizza concept, blending Italian mindset, technique and ingredients with British flavours, produce and culture. Connie's Pizza will occupy the former Smokey Kudu site beneath Queen's Road Peckham station, secured on a 5-year deal with Transport for London."
"The space, holding 53 covers, retains much of its existing character, combining an intimate footprint with an American-Italian, art-deco-leaning aesthetic - creating a setting designed for comfort, conviviality and repeat neighbourhood visits. Connie's represents a deliberate evolution from Asciuti's Neapolitan roots, bringing Italian technical mastery to the fast-growing London-style pizza category - a space he believes has been diluted by trend-led operators and inconsistent execution."
Connie's Pizza opens in late January 2026 beneath the railway arches of Queen's Road Peckham. The concept is named for Connie and inspired by daughter Lili, and positions itself as the UK's first Bri-talian pizza, combining Italian technique and ingredients with British flavours and produce. The venue occupies the former Smokey Kudu site on a five-year Transport for London lease and seats 53 in an American-Italian, art-deco-leaning room designed for neighbourhood repeat visits. The menu centres on eight bold pizzas built on high-hydration dough fermented 36–48 hours and baked at 370°C using American flour to achieve a crisp crust, with emphasis on fermentation, balance and consistent baking control.
