Harden's survey result
Summary
The title of ‘best pizza in London’ is often claimed but impossible to prove – but the ‘longest pizza in London’ (so he claims) is found at Diego Palladino’s Battersea pizzeria, where it has been sold by the metre (‘al metro’) for more than 30 years. A meal here is “always fun (if a little loud) and the food is good”.
Summary
Pizza sold by the metre (‘al metro’) was a novelty in 1993 when this simple Neapolitan pizzeria on Battersea Rise first opened its doors. It‘s not the fave rave that once it was, but remains a “good local” and one that the odd fan still crosses town for.
Summary
Now 30 years old, this battered Battersea Neapolitan helped introduce the capital to the delights of pizza sold by the metre. Others, perhaps, have overtaken it over the decades, but for a good laugh and some very decent pizza, it still has a fan club.
Summary
“Amazing pizza by the metre” has always been the offer at this Battersea Neapolitan that celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The full 100 cm will set you back £65, and is the equivalent to four conventional circular pizzas.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
