The Rose Pizzeria

You're walking along Albert Embankment with the river glinting beside you, and suddenly there's The Rose, doing what Italian pizzerias should do without any faffing about. This is serious wood-fired business — the kind of place where they've sweated the details: proper San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella that actually tastes like something, and a crust that's got real char and leoparding from a proper oven. It's not trying to be trendy or reinvent the wheel; it's just doing classic Neapolitan pizza exceptionally well, which somehow feels rarer than it should be in London.
