A truly memorable visit.” The post showed footage of Marco enjoying a pizza and commending its quality. He remarked, “Pepperoni pizza with chilli oil. Now, look how fine the dough is.
Dough ratio to cheese is perfection. Now the pepperoni. Now, that’s good, that’s very good. Deliciously tasty. You may ask, where am I? The Lower Bristol Road in Bath. Not the most glamorous part of Bath, but one of the most delicious parts of Bath.
Make a reservation at the Italian Café, Lower Bristol Road, if you want a delicious pizza. Enjoy!”
