Mamie's Food

A modest-looking restaurant on Munster Road, Bellillo is a pizzeria that doesn’t hold back on flavour. With their motto-“from our lands to your hands”- comes authentic pizza with organic, well-sourced and sustainable products from the Italian region of Campagnia. The restaurant’s interior is simple with a large pizza oven, basil plants on every table and red brick walls.

From their evo oil to their buffalo mozzarella, they use ingredients of the highest standard, which definitely pays off. With only one restaurant in the UK and three other locations in Barcelona, Napoli and Miami, they are certainly making their mark on the world of pizza.

As an ex-resident of Munster road, I first came across Bellillo a few years ago and it became a dangerous guilty pleasure of mine. With my regular Margharita and extra basil order in mind, I decided to introduce a large group of friends to my favourite pizzeria, and they welcomed us with open arms.

We were seated next to the oven and watched our pizzas being made right in front of us. As always, the Margharita was delicious and not overpacked with toppings (see my review of Farina Pizzeria), the sweet tomatoes and mozzarella were perfectly balanced, and the double proved dough light and airy. No soggy bottom meant it was far too easy to shovel into my mouth!

Other classics like a Marinara and Napoletana are on the menu, as well as a Castelpoto (spicy sausage, tomato, fior di latte cheese and basil) and 4 Vedure (aubergine, peppers, courgette, broccoli and parmesan).

Although the Cerasuolo d’Abbruzzo rose was a little warm, the free limoncello shot in exchange for a tag on Instagram made up for it.

Only one minor complaint was that there wasn’t enough sausage on the Castelpoto but, regardless, everyone was full and happy. What a relief.

Go there if you can- you won’t regret it! Or buy their dough and make your own.
