I went there today after reading the time out reviews, and found out that it was closed! Don't know if its closed permanently or if it was just closed for today, but there was no sign that stated that it was closed on Sundays, so not quite sure what happened there. Just a warning for future visitors.

I really want to try this place! I have been craving some pizza al taglio for ages!!! As far as the "cultural issue" is concerned: I have always found pizza al taglio everywhere in Italy! It's true it is originally from Rome, but you can find it everywhere now! I have never seen any pizzeria selling slices of pizza, except for Spizzico (which I would not call pizzeria anyway!). As far as the thickness is concerned, I think it really depends on the shop itself, but normally pizza al taglio is not very thick (unless you get pizza genovese or some other pizza bianca, which is sometimes thicker). Oh well, I think this conversation could go on and on though! :)

Best pizza al taglio I had in London so far and reasonable price! Regarding the 'cultural issue' below.. I come from Northern Italy and we do have pizza al taglio pretty everywhere, although it is true that it is originally from Rome.

I'm not sure why a fella speaking on his mobile phone whilst ordering feels he has can then complain about common courtesy! Seems a bit of a daft statement to me. Besides, this is part of the fun of the place, they even have a sign up stating you won't be served if you're on the phone! Great place, great food, friendly people working there.

Dear Paola, your cultural correction is indeed wrong. 'Pizza al taglio' is thicker than a regular pizza and it is only available in Rome. In other parts of Italy they have something called a 'trancio', which is just a slice of a normal pizza.

I would correct Paola. "Pizza al taglio" is quite Roman and pretty different from what you can find elsewhere in Italy. It's thicker than a normal Pizza and it is usually not cooked in a wood oven. It's really hard to find Pizza al taglio in other towns, while in Rome you can easily find three or four shops in a single cross

This place is a bit of a ripoff. They pack all slices in wax paper, and when you unwrap them, the cheese sticks to the wrapping and comes off. This has happened to me on several occasions. Pizza without cheese is not particularly tasty, and two thin slices of bread and tomato sauce are not worth four quid.

Just a little "cultural" correction on this article: "pizza al taglio" lit. "cut pizza" is simply a street food version of the pizza you normally order in a Trattoria, Pizzeria or Ristorante, and it is typical of the whole country, it bears NO specific relation at all with Rome or things Roman.

Very nice Pizza indeed, but such unpleasant service. They can literally throw you out after 20 min of queueing up because you answer your phone while ordering. Their good pizza is not worth it their temper, probably too many people queueing every day making them forgot the basics of clients courtesy.
