My Review

4 out of 10 stars
A big disappointment: as an Italian in London, I always thought of La Pappardella as one of the very few places where I could have an authentic and delicious pizza. I used to go quite regularly when living in the area. I went back last week after a few months since my last visit and ate a truly awful pizza. The base was very clearly a frozen base, not even fresh, as you could see the mould split-line running all across the crust and the shape was a perfectly round disc, like no real hand-made pizza can ever be. And it tasted like cardboard.
We left feeling really sad that one of the few outposts of real Italian cuisine in London had gone down this way. I believe they must have changed management, as I didn't see the usual people, but they must have clearly got rid of the very good "pizzaiolo" they had.
The service was good and friendly as always, the atmosphere is always cosy and welcoming, the prices are always reasonable. But our pizzas were just dreadful. We didn't have anything else, so I can't say if the other food is OK or not, but if you're looking for a good pizza, go elsewhere.
