    Have had the pizzas a couple of times, first time I picked them up as takeout, but the place is so nice and cosy we decided to eat in the second time. Really nice relaxed place, lovely chef who was welcoming and attentive and offered to replace one of the topping when I asked for mine without mushrooms. Great pizzas, really nice thin crispy base, perfectly cooked and good ingredients. Only thing to improve is (as others have pointed out) slightly expensive wine options, but food is great value. A very welcome addition to the area!

    Just had their Speck&Zucchine pizza, it was nice. The preparation and delivery was super quick, the customer service is beyond amazing (they called me to check if I received the pizza and if it was good, how awesome was that???) and the tiramisù portion was huge. This is how we do it in Italy! Great job!!!

    DON’T GO HERE!! TERRIBLE FOOD AND DISGUSTINGLY RUDE STAFF. I went here with my Nan in February and ordered and paid for 2 margaritas pizzas and garlic bread online. After picking up the pizza, the pizza was black on the bottom and burnt and the garlic bread was over cooked and had no taste whatsoever. We were regulars in here and came 1-2 times a month but the food wasn’t good so we walked back and complained and the young girl and chef were rude and obscene. They told us this pizza was fine and that my Nan always orders garlic bread with cheese (she’s never done) and is why she didn’t like the garlic bread. They also didn’t apologise and the chef was eating his pizza practically in our face when we was complaining. My Nan felt very distressed and upset and it completely ruined our evening.

    We have ordered pizza from here about 5 times and have loved it every time. It reminds us of the some of the best pizza we have had in Italy. Truly delicious!

    Got a pizza, pasta and zucchini and everything was so so so salty! The pasta was like drinking sea salt! The portions weren’t great and the zucchini was oily and just not that amazing, tasted like seafood so probably cooked in the seafood fryer, overall not good, but dining in might be a better experience?

    The best restaurant in Hither Green! Best service, the owner is such a delight and super kind. The food is amazing and made fresh. Their prawn pasta insane so is the mushroom creamy chicken pasta. I love their salad too and dessert. Overall 11/10!

    On the way home from holiday I asked my daughter to book a restaurant for a meal, she decided on La Pizzoteca in Hither Green. We arrived by cab and thought Oh No, what has she booked? Actually thought it was the wrong place but went in anyway. There was only one person parent, he was the chef, barman and waiter, the place was empty! We booked and were hungry so we sat down non the less. We were warmly greeted given the menu and drinks orders taken. The starter of antipasti for myself and daughter, the wife had Parma ham and mozzarella, the portions were very generous, and all plates were cleaned. For the mains we had lasagne, pesto polo and linguini Gamberoni with a side dish funghi trifolati, again, generous portions that were to good to waste. I have no idea why this place was empty? I can only put it down to the size and location, this is a pity as it would surely be buzzing in a different location with a more favourable footfall! We will return again and as they provide a take away service we will take advantage of this. Don't just take my word, try yourself you will not be disappointed.

    Absolutely delicious! We only discovered this place recently but it's definitely our new favourite place for pizza! Every time we have ordered from them the pizzas have been perfect and really flavoursome. They even gave us a free tiramisu with our last order which was so nice of them!

    Great little neighbourhood Italian. Low key vibe. Friendly staff. I especially recommend Torta della Nonna for dessert. Delicious.

    Just popped in by myself to carb load before the London Marathon. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was freshly cooked and very nice. I ran 3.28 so it must have done the trick.

    I wanted to try local restaurant near my place so I booked a table for two for a date night. Bf was amazed how authentic this place was because of the food we ordered. I weren’t able to take the photo of the pasta considering we were busy eating and it was delish! Bf had lasagna and i had the chicken and mushroom tagliatelle. Four stars just because the panna cotta was too firm (accdg to bf who is passionate and knows good food). Overall, bf and I had a delectable dinner. We would definitely be back to try their pizza👌

    The man was nice enough but the food was terrible, the pasta had a poor aftertaste to it, the lasagne was too chewy, and we both left with a bad stomach from the food we had. Never going back.

    Fantastic. We stopped in ad-hoc on a Saturday night for a sit down meal. I had visited this venue under its previous ownership and thought it was OK back then but thought it was long enough ago I should give it a second go. Boy, what a great decision that was. We both had the pizza and I added a could of toppings. Quick service, no sense of being rushed along etc. Chef made time to pop over and chat without being too overbearing. Food was some of the best pizza I have had in this country, the mozzarella seemed extra creamy yet not oily. Complimentary olives tasted fantastic. Also, they had what I assumed was an Italian radio station playing, piped over the internet. It gave the small restaurant an authentic vibe. If I was asked to criticize something it would probably be the wine price. I asked for house wine, they offered a very decent pinot grigio for £26. Given the pizzas were fantastic value at ~£11 the wine pricing seemed out if sync with that value range. But like I said, this was if I asked to balance out my review with a critique. I will definitely be returning here in the near future where I'll endeavour to take some photographs and update my review.

    The food was absolutely lovely. The calamari starter was probably the best I’ve had (and I try a lot) My partner had pizza and I had the ravioli for main. Could not fault it. The staff were polite and attentive and were very welcoming. Although small, this restaurant is top tier and I would highly recommend!
