Al Forno

Staff a little on the theatrical side but, hey, this place is a little piece of Italy. The wood fired pizzas really are excellent.

For the largest and tastiest pizza, this is the place to go .. The staff make the place with the witty banter. Unless you are starving order a medium pizza for 2 people ..

For atmosphere, this place can’t be beat!! Dark, low ceilings and dark wooden furniture everywhere, with low lighting and a very cozy feeling throughout (although beware, was a bit cold in there the last time, but not uncomfortably cold).

The pizzas are huge! They come as big squares and are definitely worth sharing with a big group. We asked the waiter to show us the sizes and he showed the boards they come on which made the size decision easy.

The food quality is above average (competing with Zizzi’s in my opinion for top pizza in Kingston) and the price is very reasonable if you buy pizza to share - worked out to about £4-5 / person when sharing!

The beer is okay, but didn’t fancy the house red too much, but that could just be my unsophisticated pallet!

Have been in here several times as it (along with Zizzi’s) are open after 11pm which is good timing for post pub munchy without too many p*ssed uni-students being about (probably all in the Oceania queue at this point).

Definitely give it a try!!!

The interior design is beautiful and the tables are far enough apart for it to feel more private. The group pizzas are huge, making them perfect for sharing. The dishes are lovely, always a good night.
