Pizza Rustica, Richmond

I have eaten a number of times at Pizza Rustica in Richmond. The service is pretty quick and the food is nice. I have tried some of their salads and a Calzone pizza, which is a really good choice if you are hungry as it is huge and is of normal pizza price, around £8. There is a really good selection of different pizzas, as well as pasta and rizoto dishes. There is a seating upstairs too but still the place is quite small and when it's full it feels a bit cramped.

This is a small local Pizza restaurant in Richmond which we regularly go to for lunch. There are plenty of other pizza places in the neighbourhood but they are all part of major chains and this place has a more individual feel.

The pizzas are also great (and award winning). Plenty big the bases are also thick and fluffy rather than the brittle, crispy bases you get at most places. One of the pizzas for lunch would keep you full for the whole day.

Prices are reasonable, the staff are friendly and there is good people watching from the tables in the window.

Popped in here for lunch one Friday. Service was quick and friendly. Food was fantastic. I went for the American Hot which was huge - if there was one criticism, it's that it could have been a bit hotter.

Surroundings are cosy, and they proudly display that they've twice one Pizza of the Year award in the UK - which is always good to know as you sit down for pizza.
