The Best Pizza Near The Green, by the Record

Pizza by the slice in Bournemouth, which is either a bold move or a quietly confident one, possibly both. Vicolo keeps things rooted in classic Neapolitan territory, no foam, no twists, no manifesto on the wall, just a short menu of traditional pies and a few richer variations done without fuss. The room is small and unhurried, the kind of place where nobody's rushing you out. It earned a spot on 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias list.

Long-fermented dough is the whole argument at this Neapolitan-style pizzeria tucked into a quiet Bournemouth suburb. The room is warm without trying too hard, and the menu splits neatly between the classics and slightly more loaded options, so nobody at the table needs to negotiate. Consistency is clearly the point here, and 50 Top Pizza Europe named it among the continent's excellent pizzerias. Southbourne locals have quietly figured this out.
