I had the best pizza I've ever had. Now, to preface this, I've never been to Italy. I have, however, had a lot of pizza from places boasting their credentials and basing their entire brand on authenticity. I have also been to Vesuvius a lot since moving nearby and it has never been less than great. Service is friendly and welcoming, people come and are social with one another, the music makes you think of some knowingly chic film and the decor is charming. I had the meatballs with some delicious bread, a juicy and flavourful orange juice (which is sweet to the point you get a suggestion of honey) and the best pizza I have ever had. The crust was aerated, the base was crisp and just slightly risen and there was a fearsome cheese pull without the cheese being searing hot or stringy. The tomato sauce was flavourful and the toppings felt fresh and were delicious. It just all came together brilliantly.
Pizza with great dough made by Italians, with ingredients imported from Italy. It's Napolitan style with a thin base. I've been here a few times and it's always great.
Fantastic pizza every time I’ve been, and very reasonably priced. Whenever we order for takeaway the wait is always short and the staff are super friendly and accommodating. I also highly recommend the olives as they’re some of the best I’ve ever had!
