NEAPOLITAN Pizza & Bar Lime Street

You know you're onto something good when the queue stretches down Lime Street at weekend dinners. This isn't your average high street pizza joint – the wood-fired ovens here pump out proper Neapolitan bases with those distinctive charred bubbles that tell you they've been kissed by serious heat. The dough gets a 48-hour slow fermentation, and it shows in every bite of that perfectly chewy, airy crust. Toppings stay true to Italian tradition – San Marzano tomatoes, proper buffalo mozzarella, and basil that actually tastes like something. The Diavola hits different here, with spicy salami that doesn't overwhelm the delicate base. Service moves at a decent clip despite the crowds, and the buzzy atmosphere makes it perfect for everything from quick pre-theatre bites to proper dinner dates.
