Finding no website* (...no website, it's 2015!), but a presence on JustEat.co.uk, ordering take away from L'Oro di Napoli was pretty straightforward. The menu has a good selection of choices and felt like it should be reasonable value if you're getting restaurant food. I ordered online and requested delivery in an hours time.
Surprise! 20mins later the pizza turned up! Never have I had such a speedy take away delivery...unfortunately I had ordered delivery for an hours time as my guests hadn't arrived yet. Ho Hum. And the delivery guy had no idea what to do about it except apologise. Not ideal, but I had to take them and managed to keep the pizzas warm in the oven until my guests got there.
Once we tucked in though, the pizzas were good. The bases were nicely cooked, having a proper wood-fired flavour and nice crust. The toppings were tasty. We ordered the Sophie Loren, a decent veggie pizza, and the Maradona, which was really great with a good sausage meat topping, and Massimo ham pizza which was probably the least popular. My one criticism was that there should have more toppings on the pizzas, the veggie in particular felt sparse and given that you are paying eat-in restaurant prices for a take-away, you should get a little more than the basic for your money.
Collective agreement was that these were some of the best take away pizzas we'd had despite the too-fast delivery. It's still not my favourite pizza in the area (I'll save that for another time), but pretty good in general. Next time, I might try eating in....

L'Oro Di Napoli has since become one of our most frequented eatery in Ealing - its just down the road :o) We've made sure we make use of the fast order time - it turns out their pizza's really do only take about 5 mins to make so great for just popping in and picking up - almost immediately. When it's busy though there isn't really anywhere to wait but outside. The inside is really cosy, and although we haven't yet made it for an eat-in experience, a friend visiting Ealing ate there and loved it too. Great pizza's...perhaps even nearly comparable to the famous Santa Maria!!?!?!
ReplyDeleteThere is certainly a website, at least there is now.
