Open and shut case

Unlucky. Laboratorio Pizza opened in Great Portland Street, London W1 on the 16th March, taking over the old and much-missed Picture Restaurant site - and closed four days later.

Ivan Simeoli, from Naples, first started with this brand in Brick Lane two years ago. He trained as a chef under Massimo Bottura at the Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana in Modena.

The menu, when it returns, has plenty of old favourites, but includes one that might give The Yorkshire Grey a run for its money. Their Pizza Fritta is deep-fried and filled with mozarella, ricotta, tomatoes, basil, black pepper - and 'ciccioli' - the Italian take on pork scratchings.
