“We recently used Vesuvio for a team lunch for 48 people and at very short notice. Ago and the team delivered with less than 24 hours notice enough pizza to feed the team. The pizzas are authentic, super tasty and high quality, and the team demolished them in quick time.”

“We stopped here on the way home from a day out in Cambridge after deciding we fancied a pizza. Would absolutely recommend! Really tasty food, quick service, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a lovely little restaurant.”

“We were delighted to discover that Pizzeria O'Vesuvio has started serving breakfast, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Full English breakfast, waffles with strawberries and cream, and a smoked salmon and avocado bagel. Everything was freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The Full English was cooked perfectly with high-quality ingredients. The Italian sausages were a real highlight as well as the freshly baked sourdough bread. The waffles were light, fluffy, and generously topped with fresh strawberries, cream, and chocolate drizzle. They were such a hit that our kid couldn't wait to tuck in! The smoked salmon and avocado bagel was fresh, tasty, and perfectly balanced. It's fantastic to have such a great breakfast spot in Trumpington. We will definitely be back and highly recommend trying their new breakfast menu.”
