Dough & Fire, an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria, is preparing to launch its inaugural Birmingham location.

This new 35-seat restaurant in Moseley is set to welcome guests on 21 November. It boasts an Italian-inspired rustic interior that encapsulates the warmth and simplicity characteristic of traditional pizzerias.

The Dough & Fire team is made up of hospitality professionals who are rooted in family values. They expertly blend premium imported and locally sourced ingredients with authentic Neapolitan techniques to create exceptional, handcrafted pizzas.

Neel Chatterjee, Director, is a hospitality professional with 8+ years’ experience running hotels. He specialises in guest experience, operations, and brand development. After studying Neapolitan pizza culture in Naples, he aims to create a modern, scalable Neapolitan-style pizza brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with operational expertise for long-term growth.

Armaan Rafique, Founder & BDM, brings a wealth of hospitality experience, having held managerial positions at renowned venues such as Rudy’s and Fazenda. Beginning his career as a chef, his culinary journey spans Italian, Brazilian, and Malaysian cuisines, including time at Tosca in the DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur. He also spent a period working as a chef with the British Defence, further broadening his professional portfolio.

The kitchen is led by head chef Ahmed Noureldin, who joins from Coby Sizzler. With 27 years of culinary experience that began in Italy, he honed his craft at Al Forno Pizza, Franco Manca and BOX, and brings more than 18 years’ expertise to Birmingham’s vibrant hospitality scene. Renowned for his pizza‑spinning skills, he pairs authentic Italian tradition with theatrical flair.

The menu offers a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary pizzas, from the timeless Margherita and Prosciutto to a spicy Diavola and Quattro Formaggi, a selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Start with crispy arancini or bruschetta, then finish with indulgent desserts such as creamy tiramisu, rich affogato or a selection of authentic Italian gelato.

The fully stocked bar at Dough & Fire offers a wide selection of house wines, beers, expertly crafted cocktails and refreshing mocktails.

Dough & Fire will open on 21 November at 5pm, located at Woodbridge Road, Moseley, B13 8EJ. Their opening hours are Monday to Friday from 10am to 11pm, and Saturday to Sunday from 9am to 1pm. For menus and more information, visit doughandfire.com.
