Oxford, Pizza Restaurant Guide

“Quality pizzas served by nice people in a bustling, energetic atmosphere. What’s not to like?” It’s a formula that’s winning massive, post-pandemic expansion for the Elliot brothers’ chain, which is adding eight London sites this year. Perhaps inevitably with such fast growth, it no longer enjoys the stellar ratings of yesteryear, but to an impressive degree also evades criticism: “always decent…”, “I can’t speak for the authenticity, but they’re tasty as hell”. Top Tip: “their pizza home delivery kit is great fun”.

2018 Review: A “regular ’turn to’ restaurant for a tasty, enjoyable and relaxed Italian meal”, where the “pizza and pasta staples are supplemented by a range of daily changing specials”; even those who visited in opening week a decade back “are yet to be disappointed”.

A “Jericho gem” for almost two decades, with “imaginative menus, excellent service and good outdoor space, including a recently expanded garden area”. “Italian-inspired cooking and a relaxed atmosphere make this a great location for families, with lunchtimes as good as evenings for ambience” – “my son far prefers the pizzas here to any you might get from a chain”.
