Peerless pizza

Monsieur Gourmand and I have found the best pizza in town.

 

It's at Camilo's Place, sister restaurant of Espresso Club, the long-established Paquis pizzeria. It might even be the best pizza anywhere in the world, but I suspect some Neapolitan people might have something to say about that.

 

The ingredients are not only deliciously fresh but a little unusual - lettuce, zucchini flower, an amazing local goat's cheese - while the bases are thin with not even a hint of heaviness. And it seems to be true that the best things come in small packages; the modest dimensions mean I don't have to go away guilt ridden for wolfing down a 15-inch carbfest covered in cheese. 

  

If, like Monsieur Gourmand, you do find yourself a bit peckish post pizza, the house desserts are all classics: fresh berries (whatever's in season), tiramisu or chocolate fondant. None is particularly exciting but might make a nice nibble while polishing off your bottle of house wine (which changes weekly) amid an atmosphere of frenetic pizza-making and speedy service.
