Pizzeria Pappagone is a lively Italian restaurant at 131 Stroud Green Road near Finsbury Park. Open since 1998, it has built a loyal following among local families and the wider Italian community through generous food, friendly service and a large dining room that is especially well suited to groups and celebrations.
Pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven, creating a crisp base beneath tomato, mozzarella and a broad choice of toppings. Margherita keeps the flavours simple, while spicy salami, aubergine with Parmesan, artichokes, cured meat, vegetables and the house Pappagone combination give diners plenty of richer options.
Fresh pasta, lasagne, risotto and gnocchi broaden the menu beyond pizza. Sauces move from tomato, pesto and cream to seafood, beef and wild mushrooms, while veal, chicken, fish and grilled meat provide substantial Italian main courses for guests who prefer a more traditional sequence of dishes.
Tiramisu and a large display of gelato provide a colourful finish, with fruit sorbets and familiar Italian flavours among the choices. Wine, beer, coffee and cocktails support the relaxed atmosphere, while outdoor tables, takeaway and delivery give the restaurant several ways to serve its Finsbury Park regulars.
