There's the palce right next to Sorrento on St Paul's Road which is called, umm, something. Wood burning oven and wafer thing crusts. Base pizza are also not bad. And some people swear by Deliverance although I'm ambiguous. For east in there's Strada and La Porchetta on Upper Street and I think Carluccio's probably serve pizza. And if you're in the mood for something a little different then Taruf, near to The Screen on the Green, do Alscacian Tarte Flambee, a sort of flat pizza with a slightly seeter cheese. It's difficult to explain but it's lovely. Speaking of that are aof Upper Street - the old Sun and Doves (between the Screen and Rocket Records) which later became the Alscacien restaurant by the same people who did Belgo and then later turned into a Masala Zone. I think it may be jinxed. I would have thought the Alsacien restaurant would have thrived, but it folded. And the Masala Zone, excellent in its Carnaby Street incarnation, wasn't nearly as impressive in Islington. Seems to be quite empty a lot of the time (except the one time I've been). It would of course fit in with Anthony "Kitchen Confidential" Bourdain's theory that sites just be associated with bad/failing restaurants. -- the illusion of knowledge without any of the difficult bits
