Sweet Thursday - London

In a half empty restaurant I was asked to sit closer to the rode even though there were 3 empty tables outside just in case they got larger parties in. Same size table just one extra chair different. When I said no I’m happy sitting here I was told move or leave. I eat here every week never again!!!! Such rude staff!!!

My friend recently moved to the area and after visiting some of the pubs in the area, we stopped here for pizza. It was incredible for me, it was the best pizza experience since 2019. But first, let me say something about the atmosphere. It is incredibly cozy, a bit like a wine bar lively but never hectic. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The wine was excellent but the highlight was the food. The starter was zucchini crisps with a dip I never had anything like this before and you simply must try it when you are there. The meal started incredibly strong but the pizza was even better. I have never tasted a salami like this outside Italy. Fantastic.

Good ingredients and dough, but the pizzas could do with some more time in the oven. One thing is to make them Napoli style ; a very different thing is to try to make 10 pizzas in the time you make three, at the expense of customers ' time and electricity. Last night we ordered 3 pizzas, two of them were so soggy in the centre that they the dough was basically raw, falling apart, and with liquid coming from the centre.Leaving them in the oven for as long as they need will ruin the rocket, so after the oven i had to transfer them to a pan. It 's the third time it happens, and possibly the last one I 'm afraid.

The food is okay, the pizza was average but the Nutella gnocci was good. The big reason I am giving 2 stars is the service. The attitude of the waitress who sat us down was appalling, and we felt really unwelcome and as though asking for anything from her was too much hassle.

Cozy and relaxing venue matched with good pizza offering made of good quality ingredients. Unfortunately though the pizza dough is always burnt, leaving an overwhelming and bitter aftertaste of burnt in your mouth. Perhaps it is just a matter of cleaning the oven?
