Oh good grief. At last, at long last, I've found pizza that's worth eating.
The last time I had pizza this good at this price I was in Naples at one of the notoriously good family places that had cheerful queues outside.
I had intended just ordering a couple of portions of fish & chips here because I'd been a few times and they do do this food very well indeed.
They use cod and Maris Piper potatoes so with ingredients this good it's hard to go too far wrong but there are places that manage to go wrong.
Then as I looked at the menu I decided on one portion of fish & chips and a pizza.
The reason was that it had dawned on me as I stood reading the menu that this was the guy who made pizzas in Fusion, a great restaurant which is just across the street from here.
Fusion does great food and I began to recall the previous owner Mark praising this guys pizzas to me a few times.
Having experienced bad pizzas before not least the overpriced and grim Dominos and Pizza Hut I tended to stop listening when people told me that pizzas somewhere around are great.
So I abandoned one of the two fish & chip portions and instead I had a goat's cheese with chilli jam & basil. I was tempted by the fish offering but once I saw no anchovy I abandoned the thought.
I tried the 9 inch size at just under £6 and it was a real taste sensation. I'd made the right choice.
Now that I know it's so very good for pizza it'll be the 12 inch next time and I'll experiment with some other offerings. read more
