    Slice of life. This…read morewas definitely the best pizza place I've visited in Birmingham during my time here. I'm very happy with the success of the launch of Otto. When I first heard of eight foot grocery, I wasn't aware of such a good deli in Birmingham. However with Otto in addition in the arsenal, jewellery quarter is a must place for food lovers. The boastings of Otto was the high quality ingredients and it didn't disappoint, see the individual reviews for 4 different pizzas below: Special 1 - pumpkin, pine nuts, crispy bacon, mozzarella drizzled with honey - Not too heavy and not too light. The pizza gives a Hawaiian feel, however there are no juices, but you definitely do taste the sweet glaze. Special 2 - fresh coppa, mozzarella, topped with rocket - ham, with rocket. Even though it was a special, I think it's missing a flavour, perhaps add some olives or maybe some pesto to give it an extra bang. Main 2 - Nduja, Mozzarella and tomato - spicy chilli salami paste scattered all over the pizza. It gives the pizza a nice kick, just how I like it. Main 4 - Mushroom, seared pepper, artichoke, tomato and ricotta - a unique pizza without the mozzarella, therefore it's particularly saucy but the vegetables and ricotta make up for that. I also recommend the tomato and pesto flatbread, just can't go wrong with pesto on some bread. Warm and crispy with the flavour of the pesto complimenting the bread. Service was very good, with regular staff making sure the food was ok and no problems encountered - just how it should be! I can see this place becoming not only an evening hangout but a great lunch area too! With takeouts available, there's just no way you can miss an opportunity to try Otto. Great pizza, great price. Would visit again.

    The fact that there was a half hour wait for tables on a Wednesday night says it all. This place is…read morepopular! Thankfully this pizza is worth the wait, and we were able to wait next door at The 8ft Grocer were we formulated our own starter. When our table was free we were glad we'd stuck around. The pizza is delicious, service is great and the wine is good value. Its super casual, down to earth and just brill: I will most certainly be back.

There are a couple of No. 1 Pizza takeaways in Birmingham now, there's another one in Walsall as well. I went to the one in West Brom last week on my way to Wolverhampton. Me and friends decided to stop at No.1 because like I said you can basically feed a group of 5 people on 2/3 pizzas for £5. At the moment they have a great offer on: 'Buy any size pizza & get one free'- which is a guarantee that everyone will be fully fed and happy. Though they have their own selection of pizza's i.e. Meat Feast, Spicy Chicken. You can also create your own pizza with a selection of various toppings. Try the, spicy chicken pizza but with a little extra chilli- just the right way to spice up your life.

    My friend and I stumbled upon this pizza joint late one Saturday night when travelling back from a…read moregig in another town. It was about half 12/1am and we wanted pizza. Nowhere in Smethwick was serving and we ended up in West Brom. Thankfully we caught whatever the pizza world's equivalent of last orders is here. The strange thing is that the sign on the window suggests that they close early so maybe they've changed in the few months since. I hope not because late-night pizza appears strangely hard to come by in these parts. If the pizzas are still as nice and value for money as they were very nice indeed. If you find kebabs too messy, chips too greasy and Maccies too...well, have you ever seen Supersize Me? Then this is a pretty good alternative.

    Today I find myself north of Birmingham in Lichfield - a phrase I haven't been able to say too…read moreoften in the past. I am here for the holy grail of good company, good beer and good food. It is the food which I find most intriguing; I have come on the lure of a family run Italian restaurant where good pizza can be had. I have often bemoaned the state of Italian found in Birmingham - it's the most poorly represented cuisine in the city and I am yet to eat in any in my home town that I would recommend to others. In Birmingham if you want good pizza you go to The Plough in Harborne. If home made, silky pasta is your thing, then I am sorry to have to break this to you, but you are in the wrong city. Pizzeria Margheri doesn't look much at first. It's a small room, with tired beige tiles on the floor and exposed brick walls. There are too many wooden tables for the cramped space and I imagine at full capacity the conversations of nearby diners become very much your business. It is a good thing that they take the food so seriously: They import as much as possible from their native Italy, from buffalo mozzarella through to hunks of cured meat which is sliced onsite. Its an expense that pays off; the mozzarella is young enough to still threaten your chin with its milk, whilst the proscuitto has a depth of flavour and glistening fat that we rarely find on these shores. With no cooking required the plate is an exercise in ingredient sourcing. They pass the test with aplomb. The aforementioned pizza is made with a sour dough base which we try in a couple of forms. First up is dough balls which are world away from the spongy tripe that they serve at Pizza Express. Here the dough is deep fried and non-uniform in size. There is a pleasingly high salt content and a chunky tomato salsa which pays thanks to the quality shopping again. Think savoury donuts for grown ups and you're just about there. The pizza was a delight. Everything above board was well sourced, from more of the mozzarella to the discs of salami, but it was below decks where the hard work was done. The dough had been treated to a blitz through an oven which rendered leopard spots of char on the base. The crust was chewy, the centre correctly soupy. It is up there with a certain Franca Manca in London as the best pizza in the country. And all of this on a side street in a city that only qualifies as one because of a cathedral. The thirty thousand residents of Lichfield don't know how lucky they are. Did I mention that they have a constantly changing pasta menu which I'll be going back to try? Or that it is seriously cheap? Throw in a starter, main course and a few beers apiece and you'll struggle to reach the dizzying heights of twenty-five quid a head. All of which makes the fact that we dined in a half empty restaurant on a Saturday evening all the more shocking. Maybe they need a fully-functioning website, or maybe they just need to relocate to my street so I can single-handily keep them ticking over. In a country full of chains serving faux-Italian, independents such as Margheri deserve to thrive for serving authentic food at a fair price. At last I have an Italian which I can recommend. Go try it for yourself, even if like me it is forty minutes on a train away.

    This is my favourite restaurant in Lichfield for pizza which is good as they mostly serve pizza…read more Margheri is a fairly small restaurant that has a good layout and fairly minimalist decor. The staff provide good customer service and you feel welcome. You also have the option of getting a pizza to take away. Margheri has a 5 star hygiene rating too which is always good. However, the pizza is the main attraction and Margheri specialise in providing authentic pizzas. They are perfectly cooked and not doughy or too crispy. The ingredients are fresh and this means that the pizza is very tasty. I particularly enjoyed the aubergine pizza and my dining companion had a very meaty pizza with parma ham, salami and sausage which they enjoyed. The pizzas are very filling though so I am unable to comment on starters or desserts.
