ICCO — Restaurant in London

Terrible experience at the Camden branch! Resulted in the chef shouting in Italian, two soggy/undercooked pizzas and bad vibes!!!! I would NEVER go back.

I have been to other branches and I like the pizza which is why last night on our way home I suggested my two friends and I go and try the Camden branch. We arrived at 1am and my friend Craig started ordering his pizza, by the time he had chosen what he wanted and was ready to pay a Jin delivery man came to collect pizzas which weren't set up with receipts in them and he ended up having a little tiff with the man on the till, in the mean time another customer came to demand his margarita, it was all to much so I had to stand back from the counter for a second. Once the commotion was over Craig had decided that he wanted to change his order as he hadn't paid yet and this seemed fair. At this point the chef shouted at us in Italian which I could half understand, he said something like 'come on hurry up we close in 10 minutes, hurry, hurry' in a very aggressive tone, at this point it was only 1.14am! When I believe the place closes at 2am! I tried to make light of the situation and tell him we would be quicker in English. Needless to say he was in a bad mood and didn't respond. Once the chef realised that Craig had changed his order he became even more angry as he had already cooked the first order in a rush to leave, before Craig had even paid. The man on the till seemed confused and at this point was getting irritated with the till as it had frozen, he told the chef the new order and he started cooking it. By the time my other friend Nicola and I had ordered our pizza's, minutes later, he took Craig's pizza out the oven and gave it to him. The pizza was sooo undercooked but at this point I think we didn't want to piss the chef off anymore and all just wanted to leave, so we didn't complain. Whilst we waited for the rest of the pizzas to be cooked more people came in the door, which seemed to make the chef even more angry if that's possible. 10 minutes or so later my pizza came out of the oven properly cooked, as well as Nicola's which was undercooked as they went in at different times and came out at the same time. I will not be returning as at this point the situation had ruined our moods and we left with heavy hearts and...

MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT IN CAMDEN BY FAR! I LOVE ICCO PIZZA! From the restaurant design to the staff and the diverse menu. Seating is good, the staff are amazing from Max the cool Hungarian and the Pizza Chef from Italian Arabic origin (forgot his name sorry) we always have a conversation with eachother and we always have a good time. It's like seeing freinds the way I see the staff at Icco. The pizza's aswell are amazing from vegan options to nice topping choices all available in cheap prices to. The shakes as well are great if you want to feel refreshed or want to have something after feeling ill. Icco is my favourite place to eat in Camden Town and I've been living here all my life and that's saying something. Its perfect for freinds, family and dates (If I had one lol).

From your loving customer Drini😁❤

UPDATE 31.10.2019 I am saddened to hear Max does not work here anymore as he had to move :( the new girl Diana is very wonderful and is as good as him. Also the Italian Arab guy is still there (Sorry I keep forgetting...

Very cheap for a 12 inch pizza and the place is clean and the menu extensive. Base was crispy and nicely cooked. Detracting from this was a very stingy spread of toppings and the absence of any real salami or ham - it's not a proper pizza place with turkey ham... Appreciate the place is halal but you cannot have real pizza without the real ingredients (in my opinion) as no pork means no Italian sausage, prosciutto, pepperoni and Milano. Find me a halal bresola for example. Just offer both and add 25% more toppings, I'd happily pay £1.50 as it would still be a...
