Wonderful people and decor, moderately priced menu (£10-£18), decent service. What you pay for is fresh ingredients with authentic flavour - far better than your standard meal at the pizza chains. The vesuvius pizza is a real winner for Calzone lovers and the reason I'll be going back again and again over the coming months.
