Harry's Pizzeria Bar

A crisp, supermodel-skinny base, a lick of tomato, good-quality mozzarella & a drizzle of olive oil sound easy enough, so why can’t more pizzerias be more like Harry’s? It’s authenticity that counts here, & you can gauge the success of this Italian-owned set-up by the piles of empty plates, crumbs & drained wine glasses left by the Blackfriars hordes every lunchtime. Classic toppings abound, including milano (with ham & asparagus),juventus (artichokes & pepperoni) or the Pavarotti, simply described as ‘something to sing about’. But innovation counts, too: wholemeal pizzas are on offer & new pasta creations are chalked up regularly. In summer, City workers take to the leafy, pizza-style terrace beyond the restaurant’s baroque facade to sip from the modest, Italian-leaning wine list.
