great Pizza in Mayfair 28th September 2008

I have always liked Mount Street despite the fact that the most unpleasant person whom I have ever encountered used to have an office there (he has since moved - though not, as I had rather hoped, to HM Prison Wandsworth).
On a drizzly autumn day this place was totally heaving.
Very close to the Connaught Hotel, Delfino is housed in one of those splendid redbrick buildings no doubt owned by his Grace the Duke of Westminster. I am not sure if his Lordship likes pizzas but, if he does, this would be a place he would go. A fabulous selection and, by Mayfair standards, fairly priced (lunch for two plus coffee and mineral water was around £30). Most of the other punters seemed to be hedge fund managers in a hurry. So service was spectacularly fast, efficient and very friendly - from the manager's greeting on arrival to the time we left.
Tables are jam packed together; so good for a quick bite
rather than a big occasion. I would advise booking.

In the heart of Mayfair is a friendly looking Italian Pizzeria. Just the ticket for a low key business lunch or light relief from the more serious restaurants that festoon this posh neighbourhood.

After noting this place for a long while I finally got to eat there the other day when I was taken there by a savvy local punter. This place is a pizzeria through and through and be warned: The Pizza's are utterly enormous, in fact the largest I think I have ever seen (befitting of Mayfair I suppose). The silver lining is that the pizza's are super thin, in the best Italian tradition.

This place is something of a rarity in the area, so it gets fiendishly booked up. Even for lunch you would be wise to book up in advance.

So, location, location, location; Pizza, Pizza, Pizza!
