Il Principe (Oxford)

• Il Principe is well known amongst the locals and it should be better known to visitors
• These pizzas had a thin base with few ingredients spread in a single and sparse layer on the 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
• The vesuvio was advertised as hot underwhelming in that regard
• With the subtle flavours of parma ham and rocket mixed with the sharpness of parmaesan cheese
• The pesto genovese was pretty good

• These pizzas were exceptional
