Pizzeria Pappagone Sud is a lively family friendly Italian restaurant at 8 Castle Square in Elephant and Castle. The bright dining room and outdoor seating face the redeveloped square, creating an informal setting for lunch, dinner and larger gatherings. Generous portions and warm service give the restaurant the easygoing character of a neighbourhood pizzeria.
Wood fired pizza sits at the heart of the menu, with classic tomato and mozzarella combinations joined by cured meat, vegetables, seafood and regional Italian cheeses. Garlic and oregano pizza bread provides a simple opening, while calzone folds the same dough around richer fillings. Vegetarian toppings and a broad range of possible combinations make the pizza list useful for mixed groups.
Antipasti, bruschetta and salads lead into pasta, risotto, fish and meat main courses. Carbonara, lasagne and changing seafood pasta offer familiar Italian comfort, while sea bass and grilled meat provide alternatives to dough and pasta. Weekend specials allow the kitchen to introduce additional seasonal dishes beyond the regular menu.
A large gelato selection is a particular attraction, joined by classic Italian desserts and playful after dinner gelato cocktails. Italian lager, wine, Prosecco, spirits and mixed drinks support both a quick pizza and a longer evening meal. Pappagone Sud combines variety, substantial cooking and a sociable atmosphere only a short walk from Elephant and Castle station.
