What kind of pizza is it? Charred and chewy New Haven-style. Sloppy Neapolitan pizza is so last year. You know it as well as we do. In its wake, there’s a lot of crispy ones going around instead. But the newest pizza to take London by storm? That’s Lenny’s Apizza, a New Haven-style, 14-inch whopper of a pie served up at the incredibly normal football pub that is the Bedford Tavern in Finsbury Park. Some toppings are great, some need a little more finesse - the sausage was intensely fennelly in the best way, but could use something spicy and pickled, while the potato needed a strong cheese and possibly something meaty. But the base? Oh, the base: she’s perfect. Crispy and chewy with a proper, loud bite. Charred at the crust, delightfully salty and a little oily, all 14 inches of Lenny’s offering is bang on. For the ultimate test, lift your slice, give it a little wiggle, and see it stay perfectly straight. What should I order? Stick to the classics and bag a pepperoni pie. Or the famous Lenny - a half-cheese, half cheese-and-tomato pie. (责任编辑:) |
