The Pizza Bar is the result of years of exploring the foundations of pizza in Italy. The result is a dough made with the best flour, coarse sea salt, filtered water, and Italian extra virgin olive. We leave our dough for longer than most to give the flavour and chewiness the most time to develop. Then we ensure that we use the best tomatoes, meats, vegetables available to us both locally in Surrey and Italian produce. The result is an unforgettable pizza experience.

Lovely restaurant with excellent service and good food. I’ve taken one star off ambience, because it would have been lovely to have an open fire with on such a cold day.

Meeting our son and his wife for a birthday dinner. Food and service were excellent. The tiramisu was the best I’ve eaten since our honeymoon in 1988. Will definitely visit again.
