Eco

Claphamites in need of a carb fix before hitting the high street’s bars head to Eco, one of the area’s most popular pizza joints for over a decade. Reasonable prices & excellent, generously proportioned, thin-crust pizzas with a catalogue of toppings almost make up for the cacophony of noise from girls & guys chattering over an intrusive dance soundtrack. Service is as brisk as you’d expect of a stack-’em-high spot like this, but is nevertheless friendly. If you’re after a leisurely meal & at least the possibility of a good chat, avoid weekend nights, when large parties take over. Esca, the restaurant’s modern sister deli next door, is worth visiting for dessert.
