Thank you to all who came by!

Pizza Valentina 🌱

With tomatoes, mozzarella, artichokes, asparagus, black pepper & grana shavings.

Homemade semolina bread 🥖 available today!

Wow!!
Today il principe made a nice porchetta.

Neapolitan pride 👍🏼💙

We may all have mixed opinions on pineapple pizzas, but one thing can be agreed on here... this is one good-looking Hawaiana.

Our homemade Pastiere Napoletane are ready! 🐰💙

These traditional Neapolitan Easter pies are filled with cooked wheat, ricotta cheese, and flavoured with orange blossom water.

They are a real delicacy (particularly when homemade) and the perfect finale to your Easter celebrations.

A variety of sizes are available, selling at £19.00 per kg.

Please note that they are on a first come, first serve basis. Each pie is intricate, and we could only make so many.

Well done Mimmo for doing such a beautiful job, as always!

It's Colomba season! 🐣🐰

If you like Pandoro & Panettone at Christmas time, you may like to give this traditional Easter cake a try...

It's airy and fluffy, with candied orange, frosting, and crunchy whole almonds.

Find it in store now!

It's a Pepperoni kind of night ❤️🍕

We still have a few pandoro & panettone left and will be open from 10 am to 5 pm for any last-minute grabs 🎁

We'll also be open on the run up to NYE with Zampone and Cotechino still in stock, as well as cassatine and cannoli Siciliane, and pastierine, should you need any more desserts!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Italian deli celebrates 20 years in Cowley Road An Italian delicatessen Il Principe is celebrating 20 years serving customers on the Cowley Road in Oxford.

20 years of Il Principe! 💙🎉

We have many special moments to share, but for now, we'll leave you with a little treat... as a thank you for the continued support over the years, we'll be offering complimentary street food to visitors at the deli today.

Expect Frittatine Napoletane, arancini, and more from 12 pm onwards!

Today, 20 years ago, Domenico would've been busy adding final touches to the deli in preparation for its opening on December 1st!

We'll have a little something in store tomorrow to commemorate... Stay tuned!

We now have Sfogliatelle Ricce Napoletane 💙

A traditional Neapolitan pastry that is crispy on the outside, with a smooth cream filling on the inside.

The cream itself is made with ricotta cheese, semolina, cinnamon, and candied fruits, giving them a very Christmassy flavour... but typically, they're enjoyed all year round!

Find them in store and on JustEat.

Pizza Zuchetta 🧡

A pumpkin cream base topped with mozzarella, bacon, stracciatella and walnuts.

💙

You know what's genius? Pocket Coffee... it's all in the name ☕️

We always look forward to stocking it alongside Baci Perugina in the cooler seasons.

Due to their liquid interior, Pocket Coffee are delicate chocolates that melt easily in the warmer months, so to maintain that stamp of quality, we wait until there's a bit more of a chill in the air.

They're finally here, and every pocket deserves one. Find them in store!

They're here!
