“ Amazing pizza and lovely service. Love this place! ”
“ Excellent pizza, under a tenner for wood fired generously topped napolitana style (most of them around 7-8). Easily on a par with the other popular authentic pizza company who originated down the road who's name rhymes with manco franka. This restaurant is pretty small though so can get busy quickly. Service was friendly and attentive even though it was quite busy. Has baby high chairs which was handy. Don't think there's a baby change though (might be wrong but didn't spot it). ”
“ Best pizza place in Herne Hill! Small business, great quality food, wine and service. Great for takeaway too. Sounds weird but I associate them with having great dough and lovely salad dressing... The service is always warm and friendly too. ”
“ Top quality tasty pizza. Very understanding and friendly staff. High recommended ”
“ The food was fantastic, plus friendly and accommodating staff. Can't go wrong! Had the ortolana and bruschetta, which were absolutely delicious ”
“ Great pizza (better than the one I had in Venice), cute location and friendly staff ”
“ Love this place! I live down the road so me and my boyfriend visit frequently. The chefs are super friendly and always happy to help. I personally love the Bruschetta and Marinara, being vegan it’s lovely to have an affordable and delicious restaurant so nearby. I’d love to try out some more of the vegan options in the future (: ”
“ Small & cozy restaurant and you can see the pizza being made! I think it’s ideally for small parties but the food was delicious, our server was very nice, and we received our food after ordering pretty fast :) We didn’t do this but there’s a park right across the restaurant and I think it’d be cute to order a pizza and eat it at the part too ”
