'PIZZA!' - Our bellies cried, hungry for a late night bite. And there was no going back; just how could we deny ourselves several slices of warm cheesy goodness? And so it was, we were going to Il Vicolo for pizza.
We went for the large Vicolo Special which came in at £8.80. I'd say this size is ideal to share between two pretty hungry folks. These guys do not scrimp on toppings! We were presented with a fine, fine pizza; the epitome of the late night munch. And in record speed too. There really is something special about seeing the pizza-making process from start to finish before seeing the end result emerge from the oven and knowing that it's headed straight for your belly. And their pizza oven makes the process a super-fast one. No sooner are you home with a slice of pizza in your hand. Perfect!
Il Vicolo is old-school in its styling, which I liked a lot. It made me think of all the people just like us, who've popped in for a pizza as it drew closer to midnight. Simple and a little bit retro, Il Vicolo has stood the test of time. And it's surely well-deserved with those tasty pizzas they're serving up. And at such an hour...I commend you, Il Vicolo, for your services to the late night grumbling stomaches!
The pizza was most definitely worth waiting to devour at home. With spicy Italian sausage, olives, mushrooms and peppers, it was delicious and fresh. I know I can trust Il Vicolo for a late night bite and I've got a strong feeling I'll be back for pizza soon. read more
