Iago Fouquet SchmidtMarch 2, 2015The pizza is good but in all honesty I think the dough was a bit undercooked/chewy.
Rock up past the queue, order a takeaway and eat it in Brixton square if you can't bear queuing. And it's number 5 every time.
Special place for special pizza, a favorite since back in the day when it was just Franco's!
Jill FitzpatrickSeptember 22, 2012The pizza was fantastic. Couldn't have asked for better especially the meat special! wouldn't bother with the lemonaid though
Parmis SharifApril 21, 2012I would eat this every day if I wasn't located on the opposite side of town. Seriously good pizza.
Some staff is nice I must admit, but there was one who was so surprised when we wanted to change our table that I felt I made a big mistake!!I
Pascual V. DíazMarch 24, 2012In some webpages appear that you can bring your own wine (bow). It's not true.
Jamie ShoesmithJuly 16, 2012Amazing pizza, simply unmissable. Eat your crusts or you'll get told off!
John GibbonsMarch 7, 2014Don't sit too close to the fishmonger next door if it is open or your experience will include fish smells.- Lauren KeithDecember 22, 2012Try a #4 and wash it down with a bottle of organic lemonade. Perfection.
- Excellent pizza rude staff..I dont know if that bald guy is the owner but he kind of shouted me to go out and wait when I went inside to ask for a place..this is mean anywhere in the world.
Max Tatton-BrownJanuary 15, 2011The beer's a winner (pizza obv doesn't get a lot better.) bonus points if you see the manager flip out!
Thomas BlytheMay 30, 2010Worth the queueing. Amazing sour dough base. Brilliant Sam Adams beer. Best pizza in London, possibly the UK. GO! Read more
Salih AlSubaiDecember 22, 2012Very few options, aside from making your own pizza, focused on organic food. Not worth the trouble of finding it, yet good option in the area
I had never tried sourdough pizza before but must say this one was fab and reasonably priced! Highly recommended
Order the #6 with extra potatoe... It's a killer combo.
Jan TjeJune 9, 2013Pizza ingredients are good, but I found the dough severely undercooked and the service uncaring and almost spiteful
- Always amazing Napoletana Pizza, and awful wine which is almost like drinking vinegar and generally with staff never fails to be rude.
Dhiraj MMay 29, 2010Make sure to get in the queue at 10 mins before 12 to get a table when they open at noon! By 1215 the queue is 45 mins long.....
Gus FergusonOctober 16, 2011Best pizzas in London... Not sure what these guys do to make them so damn good!- Jenny StewartDecember 11, 2012Wait for a table inside during the winter... it's basically like sitting in a wind tunnel otherwise.
No 5 on the menu and glass of ottavio rube rosso is a great combination
Kristiana GFebruary 12, 2011Amazing pizzas. Service ok. We only ordered 2 pizzas and they forgot to make the 2nd one.
Matteo FilattieraJune 11, 2015Service too slow we were just in two end we received our pizzas in 2 different time ... We have to wait more then 15 mins before the second one arrived ... And wasn't even busy
Great Vegan Pizza, but ask and you can have any without cheese.
BenJuly 3, 2015Horrendous service. 10 minutes to be seated when there appeared to be plenty of tables then not even spoken to for another 10 minutes. Decided to go elsewhere.
