Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

DoBar Pizzeria Manor House

I had been meaning to try this pizzeria that opened last week - it is at the MH end of green lanes, near those questionable tenements. I took away a couple of pizzas after work last night and I have to say that it compares very favourably to some of the best pizza in the area (which in my humble opinion is Sacro Cuore.)

The owners have clearly invested a lot as there is a traditional wood fired oven built in the restaurant, and they have refurbished the place from the ground up. There is a good choice of craft beers on tap (don't remember exactly which ones..)

They have sourdough, gluten free dough, and intriguingly some 'charcoal-fermented' sourdough base which I wanted to try but forgot to ask for...

The menu is short and sweet and covers all the classics, but in order to be able to benchmark against the competition I took 2 of my 'go-to' choices: - salsiccia friarielli - fennel sausage and marinated turnip greens and one with nduja - spreadable calabrian sausagemeat.

Though I had to reheat them because I had to walk home, I have to say that both were absolutely superb, clearly made with good quality ingredients and the sourdough tang was quite prominent. Delicious. All in all very positive - definitely my 1st choice and a massive win for the area which desperately needs good, no-nonsense pizza.

Minor mark down is that at present it's a cash only establishment - I believe that's to change soon, as they tend to refer you to the cash point nearby which charges £1.85 per withdrawal, effectively amounting to a premium on the bill.
