If pop music, pizza and a party atmosphere is what you're looking for, then head to one of the five outlets of La Porchetta spread across Central London. Although each branch is designed differently, they rely on the tested formula of providing good value food and plenty of it, at down to earth prices that keep diners coming back for more.

There are lots of pasta dishes on the menu, but it's the pizza that La Porchetta really excels at with huge but crisp bases, a great range of toppings all cooked to perfection. Tomato sauce appears to be a mainstay, but then there is also a rucola version with mozzarella, rocket and Parma ham, and calzone pollo with pesto sauce. Tuna is good to savour as a starter with beans, chopped onions and parsley, drizzled with olive oil and vinegar, followed by perhaps chicken Milanese, rib-eye steak or shin of pork with garlic, onions, porcini mushrooms and white wine, served with rice and salad.
