Opening a pizzeria in Victoria Park Village directly beside a long established competitor is a bold decision, yet it is the neighbour that may have reason for concern. This newcomer impresses on many fronts. The interior is intimate yet stylish, with a well planned table layout, an inviting open bar, and a team whose approach is warm, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. The space has such charm that it could easily be imagined as a film set during closed hours. The cocktail list is thoughtfully assembled, with creative twists on classics that will suit a broad range of tastes. The pizza menu is concise and well considered, though the extra £2.50 charge for a gluten free base stung a little.

Read moreThere is already a plethora of excellent options for pizza in this area that makes you wonder if we really need another pizza place here. Given the level of the nearby competition, the pizza here was… ok, but not particularly special either. The dough was light and fluffy, but this also meant too much of the crust was burnt. The taste was good, but lacked a bit in depth. The space itself appears to have been professionally designed, but lacks a personal touch. For some reason the place is also always full of young families, strollers and screaming children included, which makes the whole place feel more like an IKEA children’s play area than a restaurant. During our visit there was also a photographer taking pictures of the restaurant. The pictures may or may not have included the guests, but no one was asked if they consented to being photographed, which is of...
