9 best places for pizza in London

Pizza can solve all of life’s problems. Hungover? Get pizza. You’ve just failed an exam? Get pizza. It’s Tuesday? Get pizza. Seeing as it’s such an important staple in getting through everyday life in London, we’ve gathered our top picks across the city. So, what are you waiting for? Go grab a slice of the action.

1. Santa Maria Pizzeria

Claiming that the pizza you eat at this restaurant is identical to what you’d eat in Naples is a huge one - but it’s one Santa Maria delivers on. With four locations across Islington, Ealing, Fitzrovia and Fulham, you should do yourself a favour and get to where the authentic pizza is!

2. Santoré

From your traditional Margherita to truffle-topped, this place has it all. With dark wood furniture and cosy banquette seating, it’s a little more restaurant than take-away, but a perfect place for a cheeky celebration.

3. Pizzeria Pellone

With all their ingredients direct from Italy, this place takes pizza seriously. They’re famous for their calzone fritto (a folded, fried pizza!) is something to behold. Sit in at their Lavender Hill restaurant.

4. Yard Sale

Started by friends in their backyard, Yard Sale didn’t stay home alone and now run a medium-but-mighty chain of outlets across London. They’ve made so many waves in their rise to the pizza pinnacle that Macaulay Culkin and his band The Pizza Underground even performed at their Clapton shop’s launch party!

5. Homeslice

Eat in or takeaway, have it your way! Homeslice started as a mobile pizza unit before setting up shop and now caters for a whole range of pizza lovers - with a great selection of gluten-free and vegan options.

6. Franco Manca

Fresh sourdough made daily and left to rise for 24 hours makes Franco Manca’s bases extra tasty. You can eat in or take away - and they're on Deliveroo. Save on pizza bundles with UNiDAYS discount!

7. Crisp

A place that’s becoming pretty TikTok famous, Crisp combines pub atmosphere with killer pizza favours. Housed in The Chancellors pub in Hammersmith, you can enjoy your pizza down by the river. It’s so good that it can get very busy, so make sure to book or head there early.

8. Ace Pizza

Pizza sandwiches?! All the same ingredients and their fantastic pizzas, but folded up in sandwich form, reminiscent of how they often serve them in Rome, Ace Pizza are doing things a little differently for the London scene.

9. Pizza Pilgrims

Probably the biggest players on this list, the Pilgrims still keep to their roots with slightly out there toppings - chips on pizza!? You bet. They also run workshops sometimes too - which can make for an entertaining afternoon with your mates trying to get the dough off your arms!

If you can’t get to some of these top choices, you can’t go wrong with classic Pizza Hut or Pizza Express - and you can save with our latest deals.
