Zia Lucia - Islington

"Zia Lucia is probably Islington’s best-known pizzeria—for good reason. Your classic margherita is just over a tenner, and the rest just a bit more. The Holloway Road restaurant is rarely without a hungry customer outside, especially on match days when Arsenal fans are looking for their fix of charcoal dough topped with buffalo mozzarella. The choice of doughs (charcoal, wholemeal, gluten-free, or traditional) aren’t something you see every day and make a midweek Neapolitan pizza feel a little bit special." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna

"Film Pairing:The Terminal (Netflix) “A classic warm and fuzzy Spielberg tale of a man who is forced to stay within the confines of JFK after a civil war in his own country means he can’t return home or leave the airport. As you can tell, I’m quite into films that depict people living through isolation at the moment. What can I say? I like watching Tom Hanks process loneliness, so I don’t have to. Anyway, there are plenty of scenes involving Hanks attempting to create a meal out of free ketchup sachets and crackers and I immediately thought ‘dear god, get this poor man a pizza’. Instead, I got myself one. Zia Lucia are delivering their 48-hour, slow-risen pizzas from Islington, Hammersmith, Wembley, and Aldgate East. Also, clap clap clap, there’s burrata too.” - HLB" - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Probably Islington’s best known pizzeria, this neighbourhood spot now has four locations dotted around London, and a menu of pizza with dough that is both soft, and crunchy. After discount, you can get the margherita for less than five pounds. It’s basically daylight robbery, and we love it." - rianne shlebak
