Grano Tenero Camden

You're walking up Camden High Street past the usual chaos, and Grano Tenero pulls you in with the smell of a proper wood-fired oven. It's not trying to be cool; it just is. The pizzas are serious business—thin, charred, the kind where the crust has actual flavour rather than just being a vehicle for toppings. The room's got that unpretentious Italian neighbourhood feel, busy but never stressful, filled with people who actually know what they're doing. You'll find yourself tucking in next to someone grabbing a quick lunch and a couple sharing something more leisurely. It's the kind of place locals keep coming back to because it does one thing brilliantly.
