South Kensington, Pizza Restaurant Guide

With their “decent menu of Italian food at good prices” and terraces for al fresco dining, this low-key duo can be useful options – the South Ken branch is “perfect for a pre-museum or Sunday grazing trip”, while its bigger Dulwich Village sibling is “filled with families and dogs”. “You wouldn’t make a special journey, but they’re reliably pleasant”.

This “long-established” family-owned Italian in a Venetian Gothic building near the Albert Hall is “set up as a sort of homage to Princess Diana”, who used to bring Princes Wills and Harry for pizza and pasta.

2021 Review: “Neapolitan influences are evident in the choice of ingredients, and the wood-burning oven makes for good, chewy, charred crusts, unlike most high-street pizzas” – so say fans of this global chain, whose HQ is indeed in Naples. Not everyone is impressed, though, and ratings are dragged down by those who feel it’s merely an “everyday” choice: “OK for a bog-standard group, but not great”.
