Delicious pizza and wonderful house beer The quality of the meat and cheese on my pizza was excellent, with salty specks through the parmesan adding great flavour. The servings are generous, and the base traditional and satisfying to munch through. The sugo sauce is great. The house "48hr" beer is a standout and highly recommended - fruity and flavourful, paired beautifully with my pizza. There was a slight miscommunication with our order delaying the mains and the waitstaff were quick to correct. The meals came out fast even with the delay. Minor negatives: My partner had a non-sugo pizza and wasn't as impressed, but chalked it up to differing tastes. The starter (focaccia) was burnt around the edges but the burnt bubbles were so thin it barely affected taste. Not enough to detract an entire star - call it 4.5. ~ Will T
Was recommended this place by my Italian friend who said this was the best Pizza she had outside of her home town in Napoli. 😯 Well I definitely wasn't disappointed.👌🏼although this place was super busy, the manager created space for sitting inside. The staff were very friendly, and when asked for recommendations, took the time to explain and suggest some good options.🙏🏼 The pizza was indeed delicious. Perfect amount and generous toppings, super thin base with good quality ingredients. 😍You eat it and don't bloat or feel full. The gnocchi was fluffy and soft, the flavours reminded me of a perfectly home cooked meal my mother makes! The dessert was absolutely delicious, freshly made on the spot and just perfect to finish off the dinner. This place is 100% worth the visit. Thank you for a beautiful experience! Grazie! ~ Stan V
It’s the second time we order pizza from here and I was amazed. Both normal Base and gf base were really good (I’m born and breed in Italy so that should say a lot!). I have been trying gf bases in many different places and so far 48h is one of the best for it. But the very outstanding part of the experience were the toppings: gourmet pizzas are very different from the usual ones you find in all the pizza places (even the most popular Italian ones). Quality of toppings is great. I have asked for my pizza to be only with buffalo mozzarella and not normal mozzarella (I m lactose intolerant, so I avoid cow milk) and they sent me a pizza completely covered in buffalo and goat cheese (as from menu) with an extra half mozzarella di bufala on top. Delicious!!! ~ Sara B
