Naked Dough by Romeo

You're walking down Wickham Road and you want pizza that actually tastes like something—not the flabby chain stuff that's taken over half of Croydon town centre. Naked Dough gets it right: wood-fired bases that char properly, toppings that don't overwhelm the dough, and a no-nonsense approach that's refreshing. The Romeo crew know their stuff, and this spot feels like they've stripped back the theatrics to focus on what matters. It's the kind of place where regulars genuinely mean it when they come back, not because there's nowhere else, but because the pizza's worth the trip.
