Today I find myself north of Birmingham in Lichfield – a phrase I haven’t been able to say too often in the past. I am here for the holy grail of good company, good beer and good food. It is the food which I find most intriguing; I have come on the lure of a family run Italian restaurant where good pizza can be had. I have often bemoaned the state of Italian found in Birmingham – it’s the most poorly represented cuisine in the city and I am yet to eat in any in my home town that I would recommend to others. In Birmingham if you want good pizza you go to The Plough in Harborne. If home made, silky pasta is your thing, then I am sorry to have to break this to you, but you are in the wrong city.
The dream of eating a genuine Neapolitan pizza in England has finally come true! Thanks!!
Quite possibly the best pizza in UK outside Italy. My pizza shown below was £16.95 which is more than I’d usually pay in a pizza chain restaurant like Pizza Express but it’s worth it. You can really taste the quality ingredients. It looks like an insurmountable portion size but the base is so light and airy, it was a pleasure to eat and left room for dessert. Very popular with Italians too, you can hear other diners speaking Italian which adds to the atmosphere. The house red wine was also exquisite. £18.99 for the bottle and went really well with the food. I’ll be back!
