It is a testament to these pizzas that I was able to eat them.
Earlier that day...
The Boy and Wimbledon arrive looking expectedly and impossibly radiant after a long trip.
After hugs and hilarity we head to the Damien Hirst exhibit at the Tate Modern. How excited I am to be given the opportunity to be cultural...or at least pretend that I am. I even had my best 'ah, yes, but if you transcend the box, it's clear that the rigidity of the lines represent the constraints placed upon the biscuit base, by the cheese' face on.
And then, everything that I so firmly believed...remained the same. However my upchuck reflex was tested, even more so than when I had a severe bout of food poisoning in 2000.
It was kind of like being in Lord of the Flies except; instead of the chaos of a plane full of boys crashed on a desert island...it was me lost in the Tate, instead of a pigs head on a stick covered in flies it was a severed cows head in a box with flies buzzing around it, and instead of that bat-shit-crazy kid who was head of the hunters it was a giant circular disc of dead flies that was going to metaphorically (and actually) nauseate me. So much so, that even the best chocolate in the world was unable to coax me out of the unnattractive stupor I had settled in to.
I don't know enough about art to justify that rant, so lets quickly move back to what I do know: belly satisfaction and veggie friendliness.
Don't be afraid by the size of these pizzas; they are light and as Wimbledon put it; 'very easy to eat'. When it comes to taste - refer back to the first sentence in this post.
As for options for us Veggisaurs: there were plenty, and the setting is cute and rustic (I hate that word).
Sentence of advice: If it's even vaguely chilly outside and they give you a table by the glass in the conservatory then refuse and wait - Brrrrr. This is especially crucial as they serve their pizza on cold plates and, as The Boy pointed out, isn't a warm plate basic protocol? I wouldn't mess with him...he can identify a statue of Dwight Eisenhower before you can even see it. He's a litte bit like Chuck Norris in that way.
Price: Approx. £67.00 for 1 x coca cola, 1 x bottle of red, 4 x pizzas and service charge.
Veggie Friendly: 4/5
Food: 3.5/5
Service: 5/5
Atmosphere: 4/5
