Eatalian Woodford/Chigwell - Italian food to take away since 1998 — Restaurant in London

For years I saw flyers advertising Eatialian, without paying attention, as it seemed just another unremarkable pizza delivery place. Then I drove past it on my bicycle and realised it was a proper Italian family run restaurant. So give it a try, and it immediately became my local favourite take away place (quarentine times), from which I order a variety of Italian dishes, not just pizzas (and they have day specials).
