Pizza pilgrims review

It was the first day back at work after the New Year, so my friend and I owed ourself decent dinner plans to help us get through the day.

So I wrote a little review for Pizza Pilgrims a few weeks ago which was not as positive as the owners, Thom and James Elliot, might have hoped for. After reading the review, I was invited back to re-review and to meet one half of the duo, Thom. The first branch of Pizza Pilgrims opened in Soho a few years ago, followed by a second in Kingly Court, opened a couple of months ago. Although my original review for the Kingly Court branch was just weeks into it having been open, the soft launch period was over and the menu full price; a time when standards are meant to be upheld. Still, I can imagine that glitches can extend into the first month of opening — something which may have contributed to the less than fabulous original review. With a new-born to look after, Thom has had his fair share of teething problems; the birth of his first baby coinciding quite disobligingly with the opening of the new Pizza Pilgrims. I can see how perfection may have been a request too far with so much going on.

Banh Mi 11 , a stand serving up Vietnamese baguettes, is one of my favourites as is Pizza Pilgrims. This stand cooks its thin Neapolitan-style hand-tossed pizzas to order using a gas-fired oven in the back of a converted Robin Reliant. The three item menu changes daily, so not all of the pizzas detailed below will always be on sale but the basic cheese and tomato margarita, which forms the basis of almost all the other pizzas, is always available. The spicy salami pizza uses thin horizontal strips of salami that are predominately salty with only a very mild chilli kick every now and again. The crispy thin base was fluffy on the inside, but it was a little too chewy in places and a bit greasy too. If the base of the spicy salami pizza was a mixed bag, then it was an unconditional triumph in the nduja and rocket pizza. Although still slightly greasy, it was remarkably and consistently fluffy and soft all the way through with a crisp, lightly charred crust. The soft, spreadable texture of the peppery, mildly spicy nduja sausage was a revelation. It was complimented nicely by the zingy rocket and the mozzarella which was just as excellent before. Nduja — where have you been all my life? The toppings on some of the pizzas can be a little sparse. This no doubt helps prevent the thin base from drooping and sagging and helps the stand, which has only limited space, from managing its limited stock of ingredients. The garlic and courgette pizza had a base identical to the one used in the nudja and rocket pizza. I enjoyed the creamy slices of eggplant on the aubergine and rocket pizza, few as they were, but the rocket was very muted this time around and lacked its usual pepperiness.

Before we knew it our plates were empty! We also ordered a Bufala Margherita, with Buffalo mozzarella, and the rocket, parmesan, and balsamic side salad. I really enjoyed our meal at Pizza Pilgrims — it was the perfect place for a catch up. Sign me up. The ooze is perverse, and we love it. Cambridge City Council. The base was doughy and had the charcoaly flavour to it that you get when things are cooked in a wood fire oven. To rank it against its near-neighbour, I'd say Franco Manca narrowly wins the day, squeezing in ahead with slightly lower prices and a smoother-running service.
