“ Really tasty nicely stone baked pizza really enjoyed it ”
“ Best pizza I've found since moving to London. Ali makes the best pizza and is always friendly and reliable. ”
“ Our son saw the massive pizza oven when going past and insisted we went in. He really enjoyed the pizza and the staff were really friendly with him, showing him how they put the wood in to fill the furnace (and asking if he wanted to help). Mostly geared for take-away with just a couple of seats at the front but pizza was good and staff really friendly. ”

“ ordered a pizza from this branch again just before closing time and was thoroughly impressed. Despite the late hour, the staff prepared and delivered a fresh, delicious pizza that arrived hot and bursting with flavor. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings generous, and the cheese delightfully melty. Their commitment to quality, even at the end of the day, truly stands out. Highly recommend! ”
