+39 Pizzeria

+39 Pizzeria celebrates the Italian way by embracing the joy of sharing locally sourced, fresh produce together with family and friends.

The restaurant was bustling on the night of our visit. With long, shared tables, platters of delicious offerings and some lovely Italian wine, +39 is the ideal venue for families and friends to come together and enjoy some true Italian hospitality. 

Alongside their legendary wood-fired oven pizza, the menu features traditional favourites as well as inspired interpretations of the classics. 

The Tartufata pizza was a stunning start to our meal. The pizza was picture perfect in appearance and outstanding in taste. Aromatic truffle cream, dollops of Fior di latte mozzarella and beautiful hot Italian sausages finished with shaved parmigiano created a delightful fusion of flavours that would keep any pizza purist happy. Encircled with a puffy crisp crust, this pizza was superb.

As expected from any great Italian eatery, +39 also make excellent pasta dishes. The Blue Swimmer Crab gnocchi was a beautifully flavoursome dish which was highlighted by the light gnocchi. It was comfort food at its best.

Their classic lasagne is also superb. Layers of home-made pasta, beef bolognese, grana Padano and basil were a delight. 

For dessert, the Nutella pizza is the best way to conclude your evening. Simple but also simply beautiful.
