Eat Out London!Arancina
Arancina - The original Pizza alla pala - THE TRUE FLAVOURS OF ROME AND ITALY
Arancina
Our special dough has a 24-hour rising time which makes our pizza alla pala very digestible.
Cooked on a stone base in an electric oven firing at a super hot 330°C, the edges and bottom have a crisp crunchiness about them, while the centre is soft and airy.
This is just one of our pizza’s secrets, created and cooked the Arancina way.
Three sizes available: The Slice – pick your favorite slice between all the freshly made ones at the rosticceria counter; plenty to choose from all day long The Paletta ® – 32x25cm – ideal for one person; if you can’t decide on your favourite flavour, divide it in half for two pizzas on one base The Pala – 85x25cm – the biggest one, ideal for sharing (or not sharing if you are uber hungry)

If pizza is a food that consistently ranks above many others as people’s favourite thing to eat, then Arancina must surely be among the most popular restaurants to enjoy it.
Choose from classics such as the Margherita, Carnivora or Romana with a white base, mozzarella, potatoes, pork sausage and rosemary or spice things up with friarielli and smoked pancetta, margherita and spicy salami or the ever popular Pizza Prosciutto.
While Pizza may be what Arancina is best known for, you’ll also find some other traditional Italian dishes on the menu to tempt your appetite, such as Crispy Arancina balls, Lasagna al Ragu and Cannelloni al forno, which are ideal for team lunches and informal staff meetings.

3) At Arancina you’ve got lasagne, aubergines alla parmigiana and other Italian dishes, but mostly authentic Italian pizza, and lots of it; by the slice for take-out downstairs, as well as in the small restaurant upstairs, which seats around 20.
I saw one man at the next table eat a whole pala.
Arancina is not a food challenge venue, even though it could be; palas are clearly the norm for the experienced Italian diners who frequent this restaurant.
9) The restaurant gets busy so be sure to book if you want to sit down or buy a slice of tactical pizza downstairs before hitting the local pubs.
10) The service is quick and the staff are cheerful so if you want decently-priced, authentic, Italian food good enough for Italians, get down to Arancina next time you’re in Notting Hill.

Enzo's Kitchen, London SW1: 'The rocket is so knackered, it's ...
food staff value drinks
So a restaurant billed as coming from Slow Food-tipped company Tasting Sicily, and headed up by Enzo Oliveri, a Palermitano and “president of the federation of Italian chefs in the UK”, would appear to have my name through it like a stick of rock.
The menu is obsessed with Andrea Camilleri’s fictional Sicilian Inspector Montalbano: “L’Arancina del Commissario con panelle e crocchette”: £8.50 for a selection of fried items whose entire production costs must come to, ooh, a few pence, all limp with grease.
“Chef Enzo’s signature” is casarecce with Nebrodi guanciale and Bronte pistachios.
Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t come close, but the dense pasta is al dente, the guanciale suave with fat and the pistachios the alluring grey-green of the real Bronte item.
This really is the most peculiar place, like a theme restaurant opened by a junior functionary at the Sicilian tourist board who has never been to London.

food
A family-run, Roman-style pizzeria serving Sicilian deli items alongside rectangular ‘alla pala’ pizzas.
It's fiercely authentic, so expect handmade pizza dough, Arborio rice for the arancini and an emphasis on provenance when it comes to the produce.
The pizzas range from marinaras and margheritas to calzones and capricciosas, with the opportunity to create your own, too.
