I’m Italian, born and raised on the slopes of the Vesuvio, just to give some context. In 31 years, and 10 in London, I have never written a review, it’s not really in our culture to complain online. But this experience was so bad, I feel almost obliged to say something, not just to complain but in the hope it helps the people running this place realize what they’re doing is not only wrong, it might actually be dangerous. The pizza was basically a piece of chewing gum with some of the cheapest tomato sauce lazily thrown on top. And that wasn’t even the worst part. The dough is clearly made in a way that’s only suitable for electric ovens, but they’re cooking it (very badly) in a wood-fired oven. The result? A rubbery, undercooked pizza that sits in your stomach like a brick because the dough hasn’t been properly prepared or allowed to rise beforehand and what they do after to prepare it’s even worst. It’s heavy, unpleasant, and honestly feels like it could make someone sick. I couldn’t sleep after eating it and it just stayed there like concrete. And look, I understand there are many styles of pizza in the world, in Italy itself as well, from the different regions—thin, thick, soft, crispy. I’m not even trying to be silly patriotic.This isn’t about style or taste preferences. What they’re doing here is just flat-out wrong. It’s not a variation/different style; it’s a mistake!! Please, ask for help, take a course, learn the craft, and try to improve also for the business but don’t keep going like this. Right now, you're not just serving bad pizza, you’re culinary terrorists.

Great pizza! Tasty dough! Thin as pizzas should be! Generous portion of ingredients! I guess some reviewers were not reasoning based on the ingredients and the typical thickness of different types of pizzas! Of course it can be floppy and wet Try it, totally worth to find out if it’s your style! Clean and nice place! Great offers and worth the cost!

This place is perfect if you are wanting to eat classic Italian pizza, made in front of you in wood fire oven. There is a step before you enter and it is quite small, you can however order online. The pizza takes around 15-20 min to be made freshly. The pizza is made in-front of you which is always a pleasure to see. There is a park nearby so if the weather is great you can eat in the park, they have no seating available in store, so you can only take out. Customer service is great, very polite and friendly. Been here a couple times, definitely will recommend if you want to eat Italian pizza.

I've had a few of their pizzas and I've always been impressed. I've taken the time out to write this because this last Vegetarian pizza I've had was amazing, the toppings were fresh and tasty as usual, it weren't too greasy, and the flavours really stood out. The competition nearby offer bland tasteless mush in comparison, these guys are different, their dough is fresh and you can really taste the difference.

I just got a pizza for £9 - ordered free choice with PINEAPPLE, mushroom, buffalo mozzarella and prawns. There is no PINEAPPLE on my pizza. Otherwise quality good and price too but I want my PINEAPPLE! When I get my pineapple I will increase to 4 stars.

Great pizzas - a good balance between being great quality and not the super fancy sourdough pizzas other local eateries offer. They are also excellent value.
