FUOCO'S

Fuoco's is that pub you visit right before a gig at Alexandra Palace, and if you’re lucky, you might snag a slice of their pepperoni pizza, which is apparently to die for. The atmosphere is relaxed, with chill house music playing while you sip on a pint. The staff, though friendly, can occasionally be more focused on their newspapers than your drink order, which is a bit of a mood killer. Not the worst spot, but you might want to keep your expectations just above ‘meh’.

If you can handle the takeaway vibes and the sometimes loud music, you'll probably enjoy a decent pizza here. Just be prepared for a wait on busy nights, and don’t expect a Michelin star any time soon. So, if you're in the area and need a quick bite before a concert, you could do worse than Fuoco's, but it's not exactly Michelin-worthy.
