Tucked away in the vibrant neighborhood of Fitzrovia, a charming pizzeria encapsulates the authentic spirit of Naples with its renowned Neapolitan-style pizzas. A warm, inviting atmosphere adds to the allure of this bustling dining locale, providing a fitting backdrop for the culinary delights it offers. Guests are welcomed by attentive staff members like Johana and Federica, known for their exemplary service, whether dining in or ordering takeout. The menu shines with standout dishes such as the San Mattia pizza, replete with flavorful truffle and mushrooms, and a classic San Marzano tomato sauce that perfectly complements the hand-stretched, airy crust. The thin, chewy dough is both a hallmark and a point of contention, enhancing the experience for some while dampening it for others with its sometimes overly moist texture. Offering gluten-free and vegan options ensures inclusivity, allowing patrons with dietary restrictions to indulge in well-crafted versions of classic Italian fare. While seating might occasionally demand a reservation amidst high demand, the certified authenticity and vibrant taste keep connoisseurs coming back for more.
