Apart from pizzas, this place also specialises in Romanian savouries and pastries that are delicious and moreish. It's quite an effort to get the staff to smile, greet and thank the customers.
On Camden High Street just a little bit further off from the beaten tourist track, there lies a little bakery and cafe called Melissa. When I used to work near Mornington Crescent, I’d regularly pop in to see a particular waitress but what also truly is a marvel is their tomato, feta and basil flatbreads, croissants cut in half and stuffed with brie and sun dried tomato and rocket, homemade sausage rolls, hotdog style frankfurters in crunchy pastry lined with cheese (ask for mustard), chorizo and mozzarella rolls and ensembles of fruit filled pies, crepes and pastries to mention just a few things on offer, displayed in the shop window. Make no mistake these are all of course extremely delicious and very reasonably priced, you’ll totally love it. For all the reasons above, I couldn’t recommend it more.
Melissa's has been serving affordable, good quality food for several years in Camden.
They have a range of sweet and savoury selections at a price range extremely suitable for lunch.
Limited seated provided ( ~15 seats, very cramped but nice decor).
Everything is made fresh on the day, from their large £1 cinnamon pretzels, to their chicken & bacon sandwiches. Their small pizzas were a favourite of mine, but the quality of them has dipped quite significantly over the past year, whilst raising the price by 20p.
Regardless, I still eat here fairly regularly, and their salads and sandwiches are great quality for the price.
And the clear out discounts at the end of the day don't hurt either.
