The Honest Italian - London

Been a few times this my last review and is still the best pizza . Personally I don 't think Pizza travels that well. Get yourself down to Mr Honest and taste it fresh out the wood fired oven MINUTES after order. No I 'm not a shareholder. It 's simply the most reliable and consistently great food place in the area.

Best pizza I'm eaten anywhere in London. Service usually takes a minute (sometimes less) since the kitchen and eating area are open plan... .. and they have a roaring wood fired oven.

This really is the best pizza in South London. Light, thin, crispy crusts (no Franco Manco stodge here! , authentic flavours, polite and friendly staff (and a clean toilet . I had the Napolitana with a side salad, and it was superb. My dining companion had the house pizza, the Honest Italian, with the most amazing prawns ever. Highly recommended, either as take out, Deliveroo or eat in. Eat in is best, though. This was our fourth visit and we shall definitely be making a fifth and a sixth visit.

Had the most delicious rocket pizza from this hidden gem pizza restaurant in Balham, generous amount of fresh ingredients ...the chocolate fudge cake is now my fav guilty pleasure and my fav pizza in Balham

Perhaps we can blame Covid? Not busy at all, but pizzas still excellent, though service rushed and brusque! Mentioned it was a birthday dinner, but no response. And in the 'old ' days, a complimentary Limoncello after dinner (which a nearby Italian restaurant still does) no Limoncello, so an orange substitute and GBP4 each!! A tad steep, we thought. So shall wander over for takeaway, at this stage.
