About early fifties, if I recall. There was an Italian restaurant called Dino's in Gloucester Road, corner of Stanhope Gardens, near where I lived in Harrington Gardens, opened about 1953 or 54. Had my first pizza there, but didn't think it anything special, either way. Still don't. If I have any fast food, I prefer a good burger. (I see from Googlemaps that there's still a restaurant just there, but now it's a Nando's, which I think is a chicken chain.)
