According to Italy’s prestigious ‘50 Top Pizza Awards’, the best pizza restaurant in Europe isn’t in Naples, Palermo or Rome, but Chiswick, West London. It’s actually my local, or at least it used to be, but I can’t get a table anymore, because it’s full of Instagram tourists, so I have to make do with the occasional takeaway. The only good thing about that is that I discovered the wonderful combination of their pizza diavola with this Nero d’Avola. Not only does it rhyme, but the flavours chime too, with the spicy spianata sausage and basil finding their perfect match in the sunny Mediterranean flavours of tomato skin, wild cherry, sweet tobacco and paprika in this hearty Sicilian red. 13.5% alc. Drink now-2030.
