I had one of their pizzas once, it was pretty bad and stupidly expensive. You can do better from Iceland.

I found that you had to get the exact right combination of base, cheese and toppings by which time you may as well have made your own. I can’t eat melted cheese these days so do my own toppings on a premade base.

the pizza joint in 'Bassett (Mario's, not Dominoes) is a) exceptional and b) run by proper Italians. Unusually, as a counterpoint to kebab shops diversifying into everything, they've done so and their burgers, chicken and yes, even kebabs, are better than Oscars up the road, which is Turkish.

the pizza really shines though, you're missing a trick if you order the kebabs, especially with Lyneham Kebab House (which is bloody amazing) ten minutes drive away.

the pizza place at the end of my road - so close you could carry it back open and it would still be hot - is both utterly amazing AND tolerates my attempts to speak to them in Italian, so you can imagine how I felt when I discovered they are, in fact, Spanish.

(re-reading this it is open to misinterpretation, so the answer is: "mortified". They're great)
