Mathilda

Light shirasu is paired with shiso, capers, garlic and cheese in Mathilda’s Shirasu and Shiso pizza, an Italian-style combination of Japanese ingredients. Diners who have enjoyed it also mention the well-baked crust and the way the toppings come together. One lunchtime diner even ate the crust right to the edge, making this a tempting choice when pizza is the focus of the meal.

For different flavours, there is Marinara with basil, garlic and oregano, or Margherita with mozzarella and basil. Marinara is an option for anyone looking for a pizza without cheese. Other toppings include spicy salami and garlic in Piccante, or homemade sausage and courgette in Salsiccia. One diner who tried the Salsiccia recalled the contrast between the sausage’s savoury saltiness and the sweetness of the tomato. Choose a simple pizza or one that puts its toppings centre stage.

Before the pizza, consider Daisen chicken white-liver pâté or chicken gizzards confit. Some diners have enjoyed appetisers with wine, making a small plate a good way to start the meal. Beyond pizza, the menu also includes blue crab tomato cream pasta. To finish, choose a dessert pizza topped with baked apple, Gorgonzola, cinnamon and honey, or oven-baked apple served with vanilla ice cream. There are options for those who want to leave room for something sweet.
