Piccolos

Tucked away in Chessington, Piccolos brings a genuine taste of Italy to the neighbourhood with its hearty, no-nonsense Italian cooking. This is the sort of place where the kitchen lets the ingredients do the talking — from crisp, wood-fired pizzas to rich, slow-simmered sauces that taste like they’ve been bubbling away for hours. There’s a reassuring warmth to the menu that feels a world away from the chain offerings, making it a proper local gem for anyone craving something authentic.

The pizzas here are the headline act — thin, blistered bases topped generously with good mozzarella and punchy tomato sauce. But don’t overlook the pasta dishes, which arrive silky and well-sauced, or the classic starters like garlic bread with a proper hit of melted cheese. Whether you’re after a quick bite or a full Italian feast, Piccolos serves up generous portions that hit the mark. Order online for delivery or collection and bring a little bit of Italy home to Chessington.
