We ordered takeaway pizza from Chicci on High Street in Kew, choosing the Ortolana and Margherita. Both were excellent wood-fired pizzas, nicely cooked with those characteristic charred edges.
What we tried
The Ortolana came with plenty of vegetables, including zucchini, mushrooms, roasted peppers, greens and olives. It was colourful, nicely cooked and full of flavour.
The Margherita was a simple classic with tomato, cheese and basil, and a lovely wood-fired crust. Both pizzas were great even though we ate them about 30 minutes after pickup. That’s a big plus for takeaway.
There was also a takeaway pizza offer when we visited, so it’s worth checking for current deals when ordering. I haven’t included a specific discount because offers may change.
Other vegetarian options
We have only tried the pizzas so far, but Chicci’s menu includes several other meat-free-looking options, such as pumpkin gnocchi, pumpkin and sage ravioli, gnocchi Napoli or pesto, creamy mushroom penne, mushroom risotto, cheesy garlic bread, pumpkin bruschetta and truffle mushroom arancini. This gives vegetarians more to explore on another visit. Ask staff about cheese and pesto ingredients if you need strictly vegetarian options.
My pizza rating: ★★★★½ (4.5/5) — beautifully wood-fired, well cooked and still excellent as takeaway after 30 minutes.
Would we visit again?
Definitely for the pizza. Both were excellent, well cooked and still enjoyable after the trip home. I’d also be interested in trying one of the vegetarian pasta dishes next time.
