"Another big group and let’s-not-worry-about-working-out-the-bill restaurant, Pizzeria Pappagone is a north London favourite. Their moustached-chef logo has been the face of many a happy evening in Finsbury Park, often starting in their bar next door before moving into the always-teeming dining room for wood-fired quattro formaggis and more. The crisp Roman-style pizzas should be your go-to but if you’re after a pasta or secondi, they’ve got those too. The menu, like everything about Pappagone’s, is pleasing and busy." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
