Hey, we’re Street Dough and we serve freshly made Neapolitan style pizzas from “Betty” Our Faithful street van. Our journey started back in 2017 with a dream of opening a pizza business but not quite sure how to go about it.

One day, coming out of Regent’s Park tube station, a beautiful yellow vintage Citroen food van passed Sebastian in the street and Eureka! Right there in front of him was the answer! The hunt for a suitable van set in and after an extensive search we finally found Betty, a 1969 Citroen HY van, rusty, dirty and forgotten in a corner of a farmyard in France.

Long story short, we brought her to the UK, she got a proper makeover and pizza oven installed and after six months, Betty was reborn and Street Dough was ready to hit the road.

Whilst Betty was having her face lift, Sebastian spent his time perfecting our dough. He was testing dough every day for six months, adding, removing, proofing, over and over and over and he was constantly testing pizzas on friends and family until we had a product, we feel enormously proud of.

We are still learning and adapting today; Sebastian is basically a big
pizza nerd. So far, we have found that living life on the road has its ups and downs. We have broken down on the coldest day of the year (after an evening of only selling 6 pizzas!!). We have run out of petrol, had no electricity and made pizzas by torch light and a borrowed floor lamp on an extension lead.We have found that Betty can overheat in the summer and stop in the most inconvenient places, we have been out in rain and thunder, blizzards, hailstorms and heatwaves but we have had so much fun and met so many great people and we have loved it all the way!
