(We could have had them delivered for free, but as it was only ten minutes away I felt like a walk. We chose a Vegetarian and a Seafood, and were impressed by how generously filled they both were. Tasted very good too. Like they themselves say, "A pizza that you can 't refuse '!

I went to collect and he was just as jolly in person : What a difference it makes to a rainy old day! Pizza toppings were very generous and it was steaming hot and cooked to perfection : THANK YOU CAPONES FOR GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE :

On this side of London, there are very few choices, so Capone’s has always been a place I’ve wanted to try since moving to the area last year. After taking a chance one evening I tried the Godfather on a thin crust. Toppings were packed on, full of taste and flavour, and base was nice. We had an XL size but didn’t feel overly full. Next visit I had a deep pan Fat Man, and whilst the deep pan base was much denser, it was nice and crisp and not too soggy. Again toppings were plentiful and not scrimped on. I also made another pizza with anchovies, capers, olives and pork. So much flavour on this one! 3 pizzas in and I’m hooked. Prices are a bit more than the chains (Dominos being the closest up the road), but you really do get what you pay for. And they do a loyalty card too which is a nice touch, and they deliver. I can’t see why I would ever want to order pizza from anywhere else now. A great local find support local business!

So tonight I tried Al Capone's in Selsdon. Thin crust cheese and tomato base with toppings of black olives, chicken and anchovies. Very good indeed, although the base was not airy and fluffy,more crispy than I would have liked, so 4/5. Will try again though Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
