BEST PIZZA IN LONDON

Sometimes nothing but the best pizza will do, especially when you face the prospect of endless English meaty feasts over Christmas. Founders Emanuele and Melo came to London fresh from Naples with a shared dream of creating a truly authentic Neapolitan pizzeria. All ingredients are 100% Italian and they use a stone crushed flour – Ovvietà, which is far easier to digest with many healthier benefits. Their San Marzano tomato sauce hails from Campania grown exclusively in the volcanic soil.
