Pizza Pilgrims, Soho [Pizza]

I have somehow missed the Pizza train in London because I’ve only ever been to Franco Manca out of all these relatively new pizza chains.

On a Saturday lunch the place was filled with a mix of families, couples, girlfriends, all sorts, tasting Blanchette’s version of French sharing plates. The Parisian-styled bistro has its niche polished to perfection from the front of house staff down […]
