I'm a really fussy eater, but the staff were more than helpful to listen to what I liked and create a pizza that suited me.
Peter Pizzeria what a fantastic concept! I had the pleasure of eating what I consider to be the best authentic/genuine Neapolitan pizza.
The only word to describe the interior of Peter is random, but that will get people talking, won't it?
