| Set just to the side of pasta mecca Lygon Street, which has about reached saturation point for Italian eateries, this friendly corner pizza shop is attempting to stand out from the rest with artisan pizzas and a hip, laidback attitude. From the look of the queues (there are no bookings here), their plan is working and people are sitting up and taking notice. The modest-sized dining room is extended with kerbside seating, while slate-grey paint, a blackboard menu and squishy couches give the space a casual feel. The simple yet cosy atmosphere works well here, with the fragrant scents emanating from the pizza ovens providing ample aesthetic charm.
Owner and chef Tony Nicolini has transformed this place into a classic European pizza bar, complete with shelves of Italian booze and a largely Italian-speaking staff. The menu features a tempting, tummy-rumbling selection of toppings, with recipes ranging from the porchetta pizza topped with creamy broccoli and chunky Italian sausage; to the traditional margherita, which features strings of mozzarella and fresh roma tomatoes imported from Italy. The menu is rounded off with an assortment of sweet, chocolaty dessert pizzas.
