This has to be one of, if not THE best pizzeria in Sheffield. Potentially the best you’ll find outside of Naples! No chicken. No pineapple. Just traditional wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza made with slow-proofed dough, cooked in under 90 seconds at 500 degrees resulting in a light and airy pizza with a slightly charred crust. So delicious that even the ones who don’t eat crusts will be second-guessing their decision.

The tomato sauce has great depth of flavour and their Fior di Latte is out of this world, probably because they fly in the finest ingredients from Campania. You are going to want to get a pizza this.
