Well after reading the reviews my boyfriend and I thought we'd try it out for lunch today and we weren't disappointed. Great value and really lovely fresh toppings with a fab thin crispy base. I have to say we even preferred it to the Franco Manco pizzas we've had. Do go and try it out if you haven't already.

brought the children this evening for an early dinner - what an excellent choice for a 5pm meal when most places are closed...the children loved it and the owners were very kind. Pizza was thin crusted - pasta was perfectly cooked...


It is dangerously too close to my house...!

Evening all,


After the rave reviews me and the Mrs just visited Il Mirto and I can only agree with all of the other positive comments on here. I had the Antipasti (didn't look much, tasted lovely) and the House pizza which was immense. The lovely Mrs B had Caprese and a ?4 (!) margherita which was likewise tremendous.


The service was a bit slow as there were only the 2 gents working, but everything was made fresh. In my opinion this is exactly the type of place we've needed around here, (proper Italian food) and we will definitely be going back (if we can get a table). The younger fella seemed chuffed when we told him about the reviews on here.

Hi,


I wemt there this evening at about 8.30pm. Hoped to order some Pizzas to take-away but they'd run out of the base mixture. Not a huge range of choice but the Pizza's I saw being served looked delicious and very authentic. Have ben to Italy a few times with my family and can confirn these look and smell very much like proper Italin Pizza. I'll just have to go a bit earlier next time. Hopefully this is a sign that the busimess is going well.

Sorry, Ann, you must have gone in just after we ordered four pizzas to takeway. Try again another night though it's so worth it.


Fantastic. Everything everyone else has said and more.

We went yesterday evening and have to say it was absolutely delicious. Mr Jo had a marinara that he said reminded him of Naples, and my quattro stagioni was bloody lovely. Couldn't quite finish it so the very nice man put the last two slices in a container for me and I had them for lunch today. As a last minute thought I asked if I could take a dessert home - he only had chocolate mousse, and in individual glasses, but he was happy to hand it over, and I was more than happy to return the glass today. Lovely food, honestly priced.

I'm going to read everything you've ever posted on here in a minute to ensure you don't work there, but following on from that I might have to give this place a go...

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
