CONNIE’S

Connie’s bills itself as London’s first “Bri-talian” style pizzeria, serving up pizzas that combine Italian technique with British flavours. Located under the arches in Queens Road, Peckham, Connie’s is the brainchild of Naples-born chef Andrea Asciuti, who also heads up the much-loved 081 Pizzerias. The pizza itself is very light and crispy, created with a high-hydration dough that ferments for up to 48 hours. Playing into the British flavours, Connie’s is not afraid to take risks and have fun with its toppings; take the sausage and mash special, for example. But if you’re more of a traditionalist, fear not, as it also has classic toppings. Make sure you save room for the dessert – the Fiocco di Neve – a light brioche stuffed with ricotta cream that will leave you saying “mamma mia”. All in all, it’s the kind of fun, laid-back neighbourhood pizzeria you wish you had right on your own street corner.
