Zizzi - Basingstoke

You'll find Zizzi tucked right on London Street in the heart of town—easy enough to stumble into after a wander round the shops or as a proper destination dinner. It's the kind of place where you're not fussing about with molecular gastronomy; you just want a decent pizza that's actually been cooked properly and a glass of something drinkable without breaking the bank. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious—families, couples, groups of mates all rubbing shoulders comfortably. Service tends to be efficient without hovering, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing with classic Italian staples.
