3. Obicà Mozzarella Bar, Pizza e Cucina
Italian restaurant in City
Unit 4 5 - 7 Limeburners Lane, - EC4M
These “upscalish Italians” – part of an international chain – serve pizza, pasta and other lighter dishes, featuring the trademark ingredient. It can be that the “quality of the food is a pleasant surprise”; they inspired nothing but positive feedback this year.
4. Bunga Bunga
Pizza restaurant in Battersea
37 Battersea Bridge Rd - SW11
The Bunga Bunga restaurant on the ground floor comprises our gondola bar and authentic Italian pizzeria. Enjoy our well renowned Bunga Bunga stone-baked pizza which we consider the best in London, accompanied with a unique cocktail and wine list covering all regions of Italy.
5. Obicà Mozzarella Bar, Pizza e Cucina
Italian restaurant in Soho
19-20 Poland St - W1

6. Il Bordello
Italian restaurant in Wapping
Metropolitan Wharf, 70 Wapping Wall - E1W
This neighbourhood Italian of almost 30 years’ standing in a Wapping warehouse conversion “never disappoints” with its food and service, but “it’s the lively atmosphere that really sells it”, drawing a “great mix of local families and couples just getting together”.
7. Slice
Pizza restaurant in South Bank
Unit 3 Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, Belvedere Road - SE1
2022 Review: Grab and go at this new brand from Pizza Pilgrims where you can order New-York-style 12-inch pizza – available whole or in slices (in five flavours) – or pizza by the metre. Wash them down with alcoholic slushies and to kill any spare time there are ’80s-style arcade games.
8. O'ver
Pizza restaurant in Southwark
44-46 Southwark Street - SE1
“Bouncy, chewy, doughy deliciousness – the crust is to die for” at this pizzeria that uses seawater to make its dough. “The lovely little restaurant in Borough doesn’t look anything special during the day, but in the evening it’s very romantic with candles and soft lighting”. Some reckon “the food in St James’s is nothing like as good as the original in Borough”.
9. 50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo
Pizza restaurant in Westminster
7 Northumberland Avenue - WC2N
“Not quite as good as the original in Naples, but still a safe bet if you want a traditional Neapolitan pizza in the heart of the capital” – Ciro Salvo’s offshoot of his award-winning chain (which is indeed headquartered in Napoli) serves “seriously great” pizza “as Naples intended” (using his special long fermentation dough); and its “busy and vibrant” quarters are “an excellent find so close to Trafalgar Square!”. A few pizza anoraks say “it’s fine, just not London’s best”.
10. Pizza Pilgrims
Pizza restaurant in Covent Garden
23 Garrick Street - WC2
“The best whistle-stop pizza in London” for its army of fans – the Elliot brothers’ successful chain continues to grow, with their latest opening in Queen’s Park in June 2023. But even if “you can’t knock the food” or the “realistic prices”, the rest of the experience is somewhere between “pleasant” and “a bit underwhelming”.
11. temper Covent Garden
Pizza restaurant in Covent Garden
5 Mercers Walk - WC2
An “open-plan kitchen” complete with fire pit is the theme unifying Neil Rankin’s four-strong BBQ-group, which takes all its supplies of beef, pork, lamb and chicken from Yorkshire farmer Charles Ashbridge. Despite some favourable steak suppers being reported, ratings took a further dive in our latest poll, continuing last year’s themes of “chaotic” service and a feeling that the overall experience can “promise more than it delivers”. Lack of value, in particular, inspires repeated gripes (“plates were minuscule at ridiculous prices…”; “we joked that you needed a microscope to find the portions…”)
12. Rossopomodoro
Pizza restaurant in Covent Garden
50-52 Monmouth St - WC2
2021 Review: “Neapolitan influences are evident in the choice of ingredients, and the wood-burning oven makes for good, chewy, charred crusts, unlike most high-street pizzas” – so say fans of this global chain, whose HQ is indeed in Naples. Not everyone is impressed, though, and ratings are dragged down by those who feel it’s merely an “everyday” choice: “OK for a bog-standard group, but not great”.
13. Homeslice
Pizza restaurant in Covent Garden
13 Neal's Yd - WC2
This “hectic but enjoyable” trio of pizzerias from Alan & Mark Wogan (the late Sir Terry’s sons) – in “lovely Neal’s Yard”, Marylebone and the City – specialises in large 20-inch pizzas (enough for 2 or 3), with “not the usual toppings” – air-dried wagyu beef with truffle creme fraiche, curried minced lamb with smoked burrata – “served alongside the usual ones”. Top Tip – “you can have a half-and-half if you can’t decide”.
14. O'ver
Pizza restaurant in Westminster
1 Norris Street, St James's Market - SW1Y
“Bouncy, chewy, doughy deliciousness – the crust is to die for” at this pizzeria that uses seawater to make its dough. “The lovely little restaurant in Borough doesn’t look anything special during the day, but in the evening it’s very romantic with candles and soft lighting”. Some reckon “the food in St James’s is nothing like as good as the original in Borough”.
15. 400 Rabbits
Pizza restaurant in Southwark
16a Ash Avenue - SE17
2023 Review: “Always fresh sourdough pizza” has helped build a strong local following for this hip southeast London group, with outlets in Crystal Palace, Nunhead, West Norwood, Herne Hill and Elephant & Castle. A new natural wine selection from specialist importer Les Caves de Pyrène is now available alongside the craft beers on tap. Top Tip – “make sure you leave room for the ice cream”.
16. Kettners
British, Modern restaurant in Soho
29 Romilly St - W1
Dating from 1867, this fine Soho landmark should be famous, but has slipped off the restaurant map in recent years: initially due to its indifferent standards; and then due to Soho House’s purchase of the building, and its closure to non-members since 2019. In July 2023, the club once again threw open its doors to the hoi polloi, with a food operation now run by the team behind the Stoke Newington pub The Clarence Tavern. Fingers crossed, this promising partnership helps it recoup some of its old mojo, rather than descending once again into the Theatreland tourist trap mode that’s dogged it since PizzaExpress founder, the late Peter Boizot, sold it on in 2002.
17. Cecconi's Pizza Bar
Pizza restaurant in Westminster
19-21 Old Compton Street - W1D
Sit at the bar where there’s “Prosecco on tap” and hang with the Mayfair glam crowd at this “always buzzy” and “professional” Italian brasserie in Burlington Gardens, at the back of the Royal Academy: “a favourite for some good people watching”. Nowadays part of Soho House, “there’s something for everyone on the menu” and it’s a favoured lunch spot for local business types. On the downside, prices are high, the food is “average” and service can be so-so. (Reports on its Soho ‘Pizza Bar’ spin-off and City branches are few and far between).
18. Homeslice
Pizza restaurant in City
69-71 Queen Street - EC4R
This “hectic but enjoyable” trio of pizzerias from Alan & Mark Wogan (the late Sir Terry’s sons) – in “lovely Neal’s Yard”, Marylebone and the City – specialises in large 20-inch pizzas (enough for 2 or 3), with “not the usual toppings” – air-dried wagyu beef with truffle creme fraiche, curried minced lamb with smoked burrata – “served alongside the usual ones”. Top Tip – “you can have a half-and-half if you can’t decide”.
19. L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele
Pizza restaurant in Soho
44 Old Compton Street - W1D
“Outstanding pizzas” live up to the highest expectations at the London outposts of a Neapolitan original going back five generations and 150 years (even if these days they merrily break late founder Michele Condurro’s commandment that only two types of pizza are allowed, the Marinara and the Margherita). The Naples flagship became a place of post-divorce pilgrimage following Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2006 bestseller ‘Eat Pray Love’.
20. Rudy's
Pizza restaurant in Soho
80-82 Wardour St - W1
From Naples via Manchester to Soho – this “really top-quality joint in a former Wahaca is definitely a positive addition to the London pizza scene”. “The smiley, friendly service” and “big portions” – legacies perhaps of its Northern origins – “make the opposition look second rate”. It’s part of Manchester’s expanding Mission Mars stable, which is planning more Rudy’s and Albert’s Schlosses in the capital and beyond.
