Antica
Antica’s origins can be traced back to 2012, when owners Luca and Mike started selling pizza from a vintage Kombi. It wasn’t long until popularity led to a permanent home in the form of Antica. Here, loyal pizza fanatics are invited to indulge in Southern Italian-style pizza. You’ve got a delicious array of white and red-based Neapolitan pizzas to choose from, alongside the house special, the Regina Diavola, featuring a signature double (doppio) base, spicy salami, roasted cherry tomato, stracciatella, manuka honey and nduja. Pair with an Antica house-aged Negroni, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect evening.
