Best Pizza in London

London's pizza scene has been transformed over the past decade from a landscape of mediocre chains to one of Europe's most vibrant and competitive pizza markets. The trigger was the arrival of serious Neapolitan pizza culture — imported by Italian pizzaiolos who trained in Naples and brought the wood-fired craft to the UK capital. The result is a pizza scene that now genuinely rivals any city outside Italy.

Franco Manca, started in Brixton Market, helped establish the sourdough base Neapolitan model across the UK. Pizza Pilgrims built a small empire of excellent Neapolitan pizza across London and Oxford. Yard Sale Pizza in East London has developed a devoted following for its New York-influenced approach. Voodoo Ray's in Dalston serves massive New York-style slices. And several newer arrivals — including Santa Maria in Ealing and Manifesto in Bermondsey — are pushing London's pizza conversation to increasingly sophisticated levels.
