Great pizza place in the area. Absolutely delicious and fresh at all times, the prices are reasonable and the service is prompt and punctual too. Highly recommended to al pizza lovers.
Inspired by a "Pizza Pilgrimage" by two English lads (now the owners), this Nduja Pizza by @pizzapilgrims is named as one of the must-eat pizzas around the world by @Phaidon.
-----------------------------------------
Started with some credit cards and the back of a Piaggio van, this pizza chain has now 6 locations around London.
While on their pilgrimage through Italy, the brothers learned the art of pizza-making in Naples and that's where they discovered this Nduja (en-doo-ja), which has become one of their signature dishes.
This Nduja is a spicy calabrese pork sasuage having a paste consistency. The sausage has a combination of 50% pork belly and pork cheek and 50% ziesty crimson calabrian chilli. Along with this, all of their other ingredients are sourced from various regions with their tomatoes coming from the volcanic soils of the Vesuvius and the buffalo mozzarella coming in from Campania. The dough itself if kneaded and not rolled giving it a softness to the pizza and charred ends. The pizza has such a soggier middle that the cheese might fall off even before you have lifted the slice.
As for the taste, it is out of this world. This first bite brings in a host of flavours starting with the tanginess from the tomatoes, following a burst of heat from the nduja, finally the mild buffalo mozzarella subtly sealing it all together. I simply love the combination of the sweetness from the tomatoes and the spicy sausage. The mozzarella on the other hand gives a nice balance to the pizza.
No doubt it is one of their best selling pizzas since their inception. And they promise to standby with it until the very end.

Great taste, great dough and ingredients. House wine is very good as well. This is a small restaurant but with a friendly environment. Try when in Soho.
