    The pizza dough is unreal, the best ever! Such an amazing pizza for such a low price. It does get quite rowdy however so don't expect a lovely relaxed and quiet dinner time. Would 100% recommend!

    Full restaurant, but manager found the place for us very quickly. Food arrived promptly. Pizzas are very simple and delicious, as they should be. Be careful with the chilli oil!

    Great pizza. Says a lot when it's opposite pizza express and there's a queue outside even when PE is empty. Also quite cheap to boot!

    One of the best pizza chains in London. Sourdough, Neapolitan style. Amazing value. Pizza numbers 4, 5, 6 are all excellent!

    It’s quite possible to have a pizza(a very good one!), a glass of wine and an espresso without breaking a ten pound note! Read more

    Good value, no reservations but the wait is never too bad. Much prefer to eat in as I don't think the pizza travels that well when you get it to takeaway.

    Hmm, cooks add toppings with their hands so things aren't really 'vegetarian' a lot of cross contamination.

    Pizza!!! That's what's good here! Light sourdough pizza with fresh ingredients. You won't be sorry.

    Some of London's finest pizza. Simple neapolitan style sourdough. My favourite is the humble margherita.

    Check the specials, they are always more adventurous than the menu (especially for vegetarians)
