About The Oven
Bath's Crescent puts people-watching on the menu before the food arrives, and The Oven makes the most of it. The Neapolitan dough is the thing locals keep coming back for — properly made, with a crust that holds up whether the topping is a straightforward Margherita or something built around nduja or truffle. The wood-fired pizzas are the reason to be here, and the tiramisu and panna cotta are worth leaving room for. Alvaro and the team seat you fast even when the room is full. The setting is casual and the price sits well under £20 a head, which for this part of Bath is no small thing.
In the last 90 days, The Oven has drawn 54 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
