Overall rating: **** (out of 5)
Review by: Alexa Williamson & focus group
If you’re looking for excellent pizza, which is delivered to your door and made with top-quality organic and gourmet ingredients, then look no further than London-based pizza (and Italian food) company Firezza. With branches in Battersea, Chelsea, Crouch End, Herne Hill, Notting Hill and Wandsworth, they offer a range of food including: 19 different pizzas (which come in 12-inch or 1/4 metre sizes), anti-pasti, desserts, wines and other drinks.
The London Reviewer had the privilege of reviewing their menu and service. Several people reviewed the food as well as me – including a ‘gin-u-wine’ Italian.
The reviews
Service: delivery was slightly late, but delivery man was polite.
Alexa’s Rating: **** (out of 5) – I wasn’t bothered by it being a little bit late as what was ordered was extremely fresh and worth the wait.
Anti-pasti
1. Italian Buffalo mozzarella ball. £2.80.
Alexa and group’s review: excellent, fresh, highly recommended. Well presented and a good-sized portion for the price.
Alexa and group’s rating: **** (out of 5)
2. Wood fired roasted chicken wings marinated in homemade slightly spicy herb sauce served with sour cream and fresh chives dip. £4.80.
Alexa’s review: loved the wings, thought they were really fresh and juicy and a good-sized portion for the price.
Group review: alright, but not as fresh as the pizzas. Portion size was ok for the price.

General comments:
Alexa’s: excellent quality service, ingredients and inspired items. Although I thought the crust was little bit heavy, excellent value for money and would definitely order again.
Group’s: ‘Reasonable value for money.’
‘All ingredients are incredibly fresh.’
‘On a par with NYC pizza – which I think is the best.’
From our Italian: ‘the crusts should have been a bit lighter and crunchier.’
