Bloody amazing - base, ingredients, service until late night. Don’t do delivery - come and see real. I am not affiliated with the place - just stranger. I feel it’s downgraded by people put off by delivery guys - not by the quality of this pizza I hope you are smart person reading review and not relying on algorithmic quantification of it.

Extremly nice and fresh food! Good time delivery! Thank you!

Nice and tasty pizza big choice of toppings always arrived earlier than should . Amazing massive calamari.

Just now ordered a 13” pizza through Ubereats and that tasted very good! Highly recommended if you want a taste of Italy in London. Will order in future ofcourse! The price was worth it!

After trying countless pizza restaurants in London, this is the only actual pizza place that offers real oven made Italian pizza. It's delicious and until you try it you will not know what you are missing. Definitely worth a try and the price is very affordable too!

Yum, yummy. I have been known that I am hard to be satisfied with, and this pizza makes me WOW. I am genuinely impressed by few things: Flexible: I ordered from Ubereat, but the menu said that there is pepper in this pizza. I then add a note that I dislike pepper, can they please switch to another vegetable topping instead, such as onion or spinach. They did this works! In my experience with other pizza places, none can provide such flexibility with no additional charge. This is perfect!! Thickness: I must say I am not a fan of pizza generally because I find pizza is thick and difficult to chew. (Yep, now you know why I hate sourdough bread so much). When I want to have pizza, I will go pizza express only, cause they have a Romanian Pizza option which is very thin and delicious. This pizza comes as a thin base, the same base as the one I like from the pizza express. I will come here again, and I can’t find any single negative feedback, to be honest, if I have to say something, I will say it will be great if they cut out the shape of the slices, so it’s easy to separate and share with friends.

Big yes from me. Amazing pizzas and tasty garlic bread with cheese, perfectly cooked, good quality toppings and nice cheese. Delivery driver arrived early and the pizza was still hot when it arrived. Great place if you're looking for late night pizza and it was very well priced too. I would definitely recommend this place and I can't wait to eat from here again.

Incredibly delicious pizza that you want to eat without any extra sauces. Aditionally we taking crispy sweet potato fries
