Munch of the Week
Theo’s Pizzeria
“Theo’s Pizzeria is greater than the sum of its parts. The interior design lends itself to life's great pastime; eating lunch. Danish interiors, whitewashed walls and natural light seeping through the floor to ceiling windows creates an ethereal atmosphere. The lunchtime special panuozzo – specifically the tuna with mozzarella and their fiery fermented chilli condiment – is a steal for only a fiver. Split an aubergine parm and you're looking at a killer lunch.”
This spot was recommended by Chef Connor in his guide to London restaurants.
Location: Camberwell
