Under £10 - Bar Centrale

As a restaurant critic I am strangely perhaps not really interested in pizza. Pizza is pizza.

Barcentrale - the scooterThey even park their scooters in the dining room.

It is bad (and bad for you usually) or it is okay. I think of it as invariably dull food. Especially after the second bite..

When people say they have found the best-pizza-in-the-world (or usually in Brixton), I just get dumbfounded. What kind of dumbo yardstick are they using? 

Barcentrale - the barHow good can pizza be unless you have starved yourself for five days beforehand?  But I like Bar Centrale because they seem to do things properly.

Barcentrale - the tableThe big picture is their Romana – olives, capers, anchovies. You can read that as my entry into the World’s 50 Best Pizza Houses.  A thin crusty base smeared with a little tomato and mozzarella – as are all the bases.

Barcentrale the pizza menuOne is enough for two, so it works out cheaply Simple format, nice room, nice people, calm.

They even park their scooters in the dining room.

Barcentrale - the antipastoOh, should the sun shine, there is a garden out the back, worth knowing about in Camden.
