A Mecca for pizza lovers, Mr Wolf has built its reputation on the classic and fresh flavours of executive chef and owner Karen Martini and her pizza crust perfection. So after all the hype it’s a bit surprising to see how unpretentious, clean-lined and unassuming the place is when you swing by to taste it for yourself.

Housed under an understated block of modern apartments, the space is a simple, squarish room, with blond wood features, marble topped tables and accented by a green tree-trunk mural feature wall. It would be easy to be a little underwhelmed, if it wasn’t for the fact that the simple design leaves room for all your senses to be engrossed in the main attraction – the pizza. With options from classic margherita to diavolo (mozzarella and anchovies), the mantra is fresh, quality ingredients, with just enough topping to let each flavour shine.

Through a discreet archway is Mr Wolf Next Door, or Little Wolf Bar, the little sibling spin-off that that not only extends the restaurant, but allows it to trade in a more low-key manner throughout the day, catering to groups of yummy mummies, intimate business lunches and long-lost catch ups. The prime focus in the smaller next-door space is a similar mural wall, only this time the tree-trunks are black and white and there’s the addition of a central bar.

A huge wine fridge displays a hefty array of drinks designed to compliment the pizza- and really, anything more would simply be a distraction.
