"Old-school Pizzeria Pappagone is big and shouty, full of staff buzzing around, and chefs rhythmically wielding pizza peels in and out of the oven like a team of Vikings rowing a boat. The Finsbury Park institution has been around since the late ‘90s and once you try one of their faultless wood-fired pizzas—we’re partial to a Hawaiian, just FYI—you’ll understand why." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Pappagone is a huge, always-mobbed Italian restaurant on Stroud Green Road. In between making regular good-will pizza deliveries to staff at the Whittington Hospital in Highgate, they’re continuing to churn out huge quantities of pizzas and mains like fritto misto and tagliatta di manzo for customers in the local area. Order here and here." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"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
"Pappagone are preparing regular consignments of pizza for staff at the nearby Whittington Hospital in Highgate and have been relying on customers to deliver them. Keep an eye on their Instagram if you’re local and have a vehicle." - rianne shlebak
"Since the beginning of the pandemic last March, Pizza Pappagone have been making pizzas and relying on volunteers to deliver them to the Whittington Hospital. Keep an eye on their Instagram if you’re local and have a vehicle." - rianne shlebak
