Proper, tasty, thin-crust pizzas, not overloaded with toppings, with an emphasis on quality. Free delivery to SE1, SE16, E1, EC1, EC2, EC3, and EC4.

Kake has found that the toppings on some of the pizzas are possibly a little too scanty, but thoroughly recommends the Nettuno — tuna, olives, capers, anchovies, light on the cheese; good flavours and not overly dry like seafood pizzas can often turn out.

Bob says: I certainly didn't feel the toppings were scanty on the last one I had. Certainly a better class of takeaway pizza. Almost exactly the way I like it.

Vegans should order the Margarita pizza without cheese, and ask for specific extra toppings like mushrooms, courgettes, red onion. The Bermondsey vegans seem very happy with this.

It's worth mentioning that the pizzas usually don't come sliced by default; you should ask when you order if you want them to slice them for you.

Comment added by Kake: Ordered from here tonight (12 Oct 2007) and had the salsiccia e cannellini (Italian sausages with cannellini beans, spinach, and rocket; £7.50) - very nice, well balanced, certainly a decent main-course alternative to pizza, or a suitable starter for 3-4 people. The cherry tomatoes were raw rather than "balsamic roasted" as advertised, but this wasn't really a problem.

Comment added by Kake: 16 Dec 2007: Had the marinara this time; very tasty. Also discovered that their ice cream is supplied by Marine Ices (which deserves a review of its own).

Comment added by Kake: 20 Jan 2008: Ordered one of the monthly specials with prawns tonight. Bog-standard pizza places usually manage to overcook their prawns - this is not the case here. Although the prawns were the small kind (the type you normally get in frozen half-kilo bags) they were tasty and juicy and just right. The mixed meats with fruit (starter) is also good.
