In an area that throngs with delectable eateries Franco Manca stands out. Located on Brixton Market, you can often expect a queue but it’s worth it for the reasonable prices, sourdough base on every pizza and the traditional wood oven.

Busy, noisy and authentic, Saporitalia is just how a pizzeria should be. Anybody that doesn’t agree will soon come around once they have tried the sublime pizzas in the Portobello Road restaurant.

If there’s one thing ultra hip East London street, Broadway Market was lacking before Bella Vita moved in it was a family style Italian restaurant. Now its blend of classic pizza flavours, charcuterie and atmosphere have made it one of the area’s most popular parlours.

Santore is a proper Italian pizzeria and solely on its Exmouth Market location you know it has to be good. This short street has a slew of gourmet food stalls and restaurants and Santore is just one more to add to its appeal. A foldable Margerita and a heavenly soft, flavoursome dough are two of its greatest assets.

15 St. Marys Road W5 5RA
South Ealing 0.46 miles
Pizzeria

The simplicity of traditional Neopolitan pizza from a wood fired oven is the basis of Santa Maria. Despite following a tried and tested method style of cooking its pizzas are one-offs. Swollen, doughy and succulent with crispiness in all the right places and flavoursome, fresh toppings. Head to its Ealing outpost and you’ll be converted.

It may sound like we’ve entered the wrong venue here but Crates Brewery is not just a Hackney Wick brewhouse but a delightful pizzeria. Residing in a large warehouse space on the canal, the joint pizza and craft beer venture is a big reason to head into the relatively unchartered realms of the Wick.

Once part of the Frateli La Bufala chain, this pizzeria is now going it alone and proving to be a great success in its own right among Hampstead locals. The Neapolitan pizzas are large, measuring 13", and there is a mixture of tomato and white pizzas.
