"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."

Great pizza's! So much lovely flavour and cooked well, the base itself was slightly thin so became soggy with wet ingredients, the crusts were spot on, over all delicious all the same (picture is of the Italia Pizza with no cheese) View menu

I never get enough with their pizzas. authentic ingredients imported from Italy, tempting smell after being baked in wood fired oven. love at first bite. This pizza beats many other big names. Never miss a chance to enjoy this pizza when you're in Oxford. Highly recommended

I always come here for pizzas and I love the new menu! I recently ordered the Bandiera and Classic Bufala (so delicious. The family who run Il Principe are very accommodating and consistently provide excellent service. I’m not surprised by how busy they are as I highly recommend them as the ‘go-to’ place for Deli and pizzas in Oxford. View menu

beautiful business with so many Italian products! the personal was beautiful and it was nice to see so many products that I can find nowhere else. it will be great if the card payment without limit £5) limit and some products are a bit expensive compared to other shops, but unlike this very recommend! would like to try their pizzas next time!
