Gimme a piece of pizza

What? Rossopomodoro, whose pizzas are as much of a mouthful as their name. This is Napoli's no.1 pizza brand, recently extended to the UK. I normally favour more independent family run Italians, but because it's a business with italian heritage it feels a lot more novel than say, Pizza Express. We couldn't fault the pizza, solid in size; good crust; no soggyness or scrimping on the toppings.

Where? Jameston Road, Camden. They have 5 further restaurants dotted around North, South, East & West London.

Do? Have the pizza (as opposed to pasta) but to share, and make sure whoever you're dining with has something else, so you can sample other things on the menu. I'm not normally impressed by pasta because you can make it easily at home, but some of the Roasopomodoro's dishes did get my attention. 

Don't? Pass Rossopomodoro off as just another pizza chain. Yes the music is a bit euro-trash but everything is genuinely italian, from the recipes and ingredients; through to the staff and fellow diners.

£20 for a pizza & salad to share, washed down with 2 glasses of wine.
