"Il Principe Oxford, England. Authentic as pizza can get, Il Principe is well known amongst the locals and it should be better known to visitors. To thank the babysitter one day, there was a group decision for having pizza for dinner (what else to share? well, maybe fish and chips.. but where to go? After some negotiation and discussion, it was agreed upon for Il Principe. I had a cold at the time, so I stayed at the home base. From what I heard, the waiter there had a very strong Italian accent. Between six people, five pizza were ordered; quattro formaggi, vesuvio, napoli, parma and pesto Genovese. All five of them were good, for differing reasons some to varying degrees. By authentic, these pizzas had a thin base with few ingredients spread in a single and sparse layer on the pizza. This way, there is focus on the quality of the ingredients as well as the different flavours which contrast and interact. After this way, ideally there would not be going back to the pizza chains. For a four cheese pizza, the quattro formaggi was surpringly not overbearing. It was hard to detect the different types of cheese used but it was quite lovely to taste the different flavours. It would have been helpful if the menu told what the cheeses were to attempt detecting them better but it was a decent one, if the weakest of the lot. The vesuvio was advertised as hot underwhelming in that regard. Otherwise not bad, with a guaranteed dynamic of pepperoni, mushroom and chili oil. Parma was the surprise of the night, with the subtle flavours of parma ham and rocket mixed with the sharpness of parmaesan cheese. It was one that improved a second time around. The pesto genovese was pretty good, if a bit on the sloppy side. Tastes and ingredients here range from distinct and acquired to a bit strange for a pizza but the combination works exceptionally well. Finally, the winner of the night is the traditional and tried true napoli anchovies, olives and capers. Three salty and strong ingredients very familar to Italian cuisine. Combining these with good cheese and tomato and you have yourself a bone fide classic of Italian restaurants. This time was no exception. These pizzas were exceptional. I await going here on time, and anticipate eating their food. It is certain that I wish for a return."

"Charge 1.99 to deliver, but don't actually deliver to your door but fail to mention it when ordering. When challenging this policy I was advised they only deliver to the lobby, which I said I paid for delivery to my door and everyone else delivered without a problem so this was a first but although unhappy I went to the lobby.....the problem with this was that the driver was still sat in his car on the phone, so he didn't even bother coming to the lobby I had to go look for him on the street.....He then handed me phone for The manager and he said we don't delivery to apartments so i explained his driver hasn't even bothered to come to lobby, ive had to find him down the road, the manager then changed his policy mid conversation to say it not only doesn't deliver to doors in apartment buildings but if he can't park they don't come to the lobby.. so not sure how you would deliver it? Do you throw the pizza out the car window at the lobby as you go past? considering it's 9pm on a Sunday and parking is pretty much anywhere barring double yellow it was a poor excuse. Simply put they couldn't be bothered to leave his car. I ordered in as I wasn't feeling well enough to go outside so this made no sense as I stil had to go outside and pretty much ended up at my car to collect this food, few more steps and I could have gone to eat out. Not impressed. Didnt appreciate the driver lying to say there was no parking even though it's Sunday and you can park almost anywhere and I made a point of point out all the parking spots or the manager lying and adding new policies mid sentence to match up the story. I was really irritated about the no parking lie there was plenty!!!!! stick to pizza hut or independents!!"

"the royal sovereign revolves around the last punk-friendly pubs in hackney. it looks and feels like years ago, and there are native, including old punks that have been there for years. what is new is the day time eating service. Please note that I say day time, because unfortunately this cafe closes at 16 o'clock! cafe so vegan is guided by a few passionate vegans, as not only shown in the joy that they show to make so good food, but in the talk about it with them! I loved the view of the cook face as they described future bake creation plans! the menu is made by their personal favorites like makkaronikäse and French toast. cauliflower nuggets and swirl rings are as good as I had on every super posh place. my companions had the breakfast burrito and then had difficulty managing each dessert. I polished from the Makkaroni cheese that came in a generous part and almost beaten reminding of my mother version in my childhood (see photo.) I will return soon to try the quiche. there are many sweet things not so many without refined sugar unfortunately. their Hackney salads come from the local bio-force crew. if they choose a sunny or even not rainy day to their is a large outdoor sitting area from the back. the pub was super quiet what I think is why pubs close as fast as DVD rental shops, but this caffe deserves to survive. if it were open in the evening, I would be here tonight! updated from the previous review on 2016 07 16"

"I haven't been able to visit lower Charminster for a couple of years or so. I was very hungry early evening on Tuesday 17th August 2021 and I went that way to order a favourite of mine, which is a chicken korma curry at the...Curry Master. I was disappointed to find it closed. This turned into a lucky day! Roxy's Bistro Bar was open. I went in and I was overjoyed to see Roxy herself on duty. Years ago I was a regular at Roxy's and virtually every time I went in Roxy was often working alone. I always enjoyed the food and a few pints of Becks. I mentioned to Roxy that my favourite pint is a Guinness. Much to my delight Roxy took note and announced on my next visit that canned Guinness with a widget inside was now on the drinks menu. It was delicious surprise from a can. Roxy has upstaged this can since then. Now another type of can is available. The Guinness is first poured into a glass and then placed on what appears to be an ultrasonic plate for a period of time. The result is as if it was poured from the traditional nitrogen gas hand pump. It's so close, it's not worth mentioning the subtle difference. I mentioned to Roxy I was starving and I would like to see the menu. Bless Roxy for remembering my preference for meat and fries. I went for Roxy's suggestion of a Today's Special of BBQ ribs with fries. The fries were unlike any I have had before, they were not out of fat frier for sure. They were delicious! The meat on the ribs was succulent and melted in my mouth with a wonderful tasting glazed sauce as a compliment. I enjoyed the fries even more when I dipped them in a pot of sauce which accompanied the me. No surprises for getting a great drink and a meal. What was really great is to find Roxy is back in her Bistro after taking a break from the restaurant to bring two lovely girls into the world. I recommended the Bistro years ago and I endorse the Bistro today. Do pop in and see for yourself. If you have a favourite and it's not on the menu mention it to Roxy and perhaps you'll find it available next time you visit? WELCOME BACK ROXY!"
