Il Principe in Oxford

I must have tried every Pizza in Oxford and I can say, with some confidence, that Il Principe is easily the best ... by some way too. They've been closed for the last week or two and we've sorely missed them.

Food is always great quality. Friendly welcoming staff.If I ever want a pizza I always go there as it’s traditional Italian/Neapolitan style nice soft dough, great sauce and toppings.The best real Sicilian Canoli’s which my whole family love.Reasonable prices definitely recommended

Best pizza place in cowley, made traditionally at reasonable prices. Deli has many delicious imported Italian ingredients, at possibly slightly inflated prices.

Great little Italian deli serving take-out pizza. 😋Am a Vegan/ Veggie so had four items:Peroni beer - very tasty. 🍺Spinach and Cheese Aranchini - not Vegan but incredibly tasty and tasted wholesome like it has meat (though doesn't). Vegitariana pizza - took 20 mins but really tasty and filling. 🍕Baci chocolate (see wrapper in photo) - again not vegan but super delicious chocolate. They also have an espresso chocolate. 🍫They also have wines, cold desserts, some unusual soft drinks, an olive servery, Olive oils, pastas, pasta sauces, Amaretti biscuits, and Beef Aranchini.My one gripe is they have really bizarre opening hours. May be just lockdown but they seem closed a lot (e.g. not early Sunday afternoon but on Monday 🤨).However worth the wait and they were a warm place to stay while waiting for our food.Oh, and they could do with more vegan options for hot food.Overall: definitely recommended.

Lovely shop with so many Italian products! The staff were lovely and it was nice to see so many products that I cannot find anywhere else. It will be great if card payment can be with no limit (£5) limit and some products are a bit expensive compared to other shops but other than this greatly recommend! Would love to try their pizzas next time!

I never get enough with their pizzas. authentic ingredients imported from Italy, tempting smell after being baked in wood fired oven. love at first bite. This pizza beats many other big names. Never miss a chance to enjoy this pizza when you're in Oxford. Highly recommended

I always come here for pizzas and I love the new menu! I recently ordered the Bandiera and Classic Bufala (so delicious.)The family who run Il Principe are very accommodating and consistently provide excellent service. I’m not surprised by how busy they are as I highly recommend them as the ‘go-to’ place for Deli and pizzas in Oxford.

Avoid at all cost!My girlfriend and I ordered from Il Principe online via Uber Eats and we were very disappointed by the entire experience. Firstly, the food arrived about 20 minutes late, after over an hour’s wait on the app. Then, when opened, we were at first negatively surprised by the aspect of the food, and then by the fact that it was cold. I ordered a pizza which was soaked in oil, and which seamed to have been made in disgust by the cook, with all the ingredients randomly thrown around the pie. La piece du resistance, a ball of burrata cheese, was literally thrown in the middle of the pizza, and left there to be half melted and half cooked. My girlfriend ordered fries, which arrived cold, and calamari, which were fried but all the breading that was supposed to be on them was inexistent. For sauces, they threw in the bag some fastfood sauces - not what you would expect for a 20£/person meal! For desert, we had tiramisu, which, when opened after a 30 minute meal, was still frozen, and a canola siciliano, which was tasteless. I am writing this review after about 20 minutes from finishing the meal, and both my girlfriend and I are feeling quite sick in our stomachs, with me having quite bad cramps.I chose this restaurant based on its good reviews, so I am highly disappointed and recommend that everybody best avoids it.

The taste and texture of the pizzas are exactly like how they were in Italy. Worth the wait. Highly recommended. They sell Italian food stuff for you to create an Italian gastronomic experience at home too.

Great pizza's! So much lovely flavour and cooked well, the base itself was slightly thin so became soggy with wet ingredients, the crusts were spot on, over all delicious all the same (picture is of the Italia Pizza with no cheese)
