Pizza Restaurants in London

If you’re looking for pizza in London, you’ve got options that stretch way beyond the usual chains. The city really knows how to take pizza seriously. Some of my favourite spots are tucked away in Shoreditch buzz , places like Pizza East with their wood-fired ovens and unbeatable crusts. And no surprise, you’ll spot queues outside homespun Neapolitan spots around Soho too.

Don’t overlook the north; areas like Finsbury Park have spots where the dough is slow-fermented for days. A local tip? Try to get a place with a proper, blistering hot pizza oven; electric or gas ovens just aren’t the same. If you find yourself near Bermondsey, stop by for a slice at one of the laid-back places that do classic margheritas with proper buffalo mozzarella and basil so fresh it almost makes you forget summer never really arrives in London.

Oh, and here’s something I’ve learned: if you’re after a late-night slice, East London’s got you covered more than anywhere else. Many places stick around until well past midnight, which is handy after a gig or a few rounds in a pub. Just remember pizza in London comes in many styles , from thin and crispy, to that soft and pillowy base. Don’t be shy, try a few until you find your favourite.
