In honour of World Pizza Day – on Friday, February 9 – we have put together a list of Italian resaurants and pizza parlours in the city which were given the maximum rating by the Food Standards Agency upon their most recent hygiene inspections.
The five-out-of-five rating indicates a “very good” standard of cleanliness at the premises and in all areas of food preparation.
Here are 9 restaurants with the best possible food hygiene ratings.
