Lots of people about good load of Beer consumed in the pub before we went off to Pizza Express (apparently Michael goes to one in every city he visits). I am not usually a fan of Pizza chain restaurants, I find them a little tacky and a bit generic. However this time I was mightily impressed and have to declare that the pizzas were some of the best I have had outside of Italy. I was especially impressed by the base which was nice and thin and tasted distinctly fresh, also it was not overcooked so it became dry which was excellent.
The real treat of the night for me though was the Peking duck pizza. Hoi sin sauce instead of a tomato base, some very nice pieces of duck topped off with fresh crunchy spring onion. Served on an ultra thin pizza base it was a perfect blend of two classic styles and two iconic dishes. I would heartily recommend you try it. Also had a very nice bottle of a Chianti with the Pizza, which was simple very smooth and went down far too easily.
It was a shame I had to leave before the real party started but I was glad to be able to say goodbye to Michael and still manage to get up in time for work!
