Hitchin Post Pizza

You'll smell the wood smoke before you even step inside, which tells you everything about how seriously they take their pizza here. The oven runs hot and fast, blistering those crusts to exactly the right balance of crisp and chew that makes you wonder why you ever bothered with anywhere else. The toppings don't mess about either – fresh, quality ingredients that actually taste like something rather than the cardboard approximations you get elsewhere. It's the kind of place where locals bring their kids after football practice and couples share a bottle of wine over a margherita that's been done properly. Nothing fancy, just pizza as it should be.
