Welcome

On Great Junction Street, a narrow room runs back from the window to a wood-fired oven at the far end, where a chef works in front of the flames beside a stack of pizza boxes.

Visited and photographed by Simon Hird

It is simple and cheerful inside. Marble-topped tables sit beneath industrial pendant lights, against exposed brick and tile, and stools line a yellow-and-white striped counter under a blue menu board headed Pizze. Wooden shelves along one wall are stacked with tins of tomatoes and bottles of wine, strung with fairy lights. The pizzas come out blistered and soft: a burrata pizza is topped with a whole ball of burrata, wild rocket and prosciutto. Take a stool at the counter to watch the oven, or order a box to carry down to the Shore.
