Pizza at Trattoria Raffaele

Trattoria Raffaele in Sydenham do very good authentic pizza, very quick for pick up. Also calzone.

sounds fab!

From having ZERO options only a couple of years ago, we have some nice options (despite it being ‘beyond SE23’).

Whereabouts is this place, and what else is on the menu? As a 50/50 gluten free household, pizza is not always the solution, but Italian food is a favourite

Looks like it might be your new go-to gluten free place: http://www.trattoriaraffaele.com/Trattoria_menu.pdf. Bruschetta, dough balls, and pizza, all gluten free. They have been around a long time. They are in SE26, but barely out of SE23.

sounds great - always love places that put GF on the menu. Having said that, we don’t go out locally that much for dietary reasons, but if there is a place we know and trust, then who knows …

thanks for the info - will check it out

They’ve been there since 2008. I think before that it was run by the current owner’s father and had a different name.

Recently written up in the Evening Standard http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/neighbourhood-italian-crowned-by-tripadvisor-as-londons-best-restaurant-a3187601.html
