Firezza - Islington & City

With a name like Firezza one certainly expects their pizzas to pack a punch, and what arrives is a half-metre long pizza with a choice of topping every ¼ metre - now isn't that called a meal fit for a king? Lesser mortals will also appreciate the fact that they have several outlets across London, an added bonus, so you're not too far away from Firezza when the pizza passion catches you unawares.

The kitchen is well able to turn out diverse choices - there's capricciosa with prosciutto cotto ham, Italian pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives, tomato and mozzarella, and pollo with wood roasted chicken breast, green pesto, sweet peppers and mozzarella. Building on the fascination to be seen as slender Firezza has a skinny version with tomato sauce, fresh radicchio, wild rocket, parmesan shavings and extra virgin olive oil, and a vegetali with courgette shavings, wood roasted aubergines, sweet red peppers and red onions for the veggies. Finally save space for a tiramisu, banoffee pie or Italian chocolate mousse dessert.
