What do you do when you want something done properly – especially when you’re a long way from home and you simply can’t find exactly what you’re looking for? Well, the tried and tested answer, of course, is to do it yourself – and that is exactly what Giuseppe, founder of Sapore Vero did, when he created our first Pizzeria in Beckenham, South East London – now entering its 11th year of trade – and then opened a 2nd in nearby Hither Green in 2019. After moving to London (quite some years ago now!), Giuseppe quickly found himself becoming frustrated with a lack of truly authentic Italian pizza, “that I liked”, as he puts it, produced using the methods that he grew up with, like generations before him, in his native Calabria, Southern Italy.

This place knows how to do customer satisfaction. I booked for my daughter’s birthday, they called beforehand to confirm details. They gave her a birthday card and was very accommodating with us bringing our own birthday cake. Food was lovely, great atmosphere. So simple but there aren’t many places who get the basics so right. I highly recommend.
