Top 10 pizza in London

TOP TEN PIZZA IN LONDON


1. Princi in Covent Garden




Straight from Corso Como in Milan, Princi landed in London a few years ago. They have all Italian delicious dishes like pasta, lasagna and pizza of course.
The restaurant is divided in two, one side where you don't get table service and you can choose from a big variety of food and the other one is the restaurant area where you can sit to be served.
The design of the place is new and modern even if tables are quite small. There is always a long queue and recently they gave the possibility of downloading an app which tells you when your table is ready, that allows you to go for a walk while you are queueing.
Pizza doug is extremely soft, the quality of ingredients is superb, the best pizza to order is the simplest one, with buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes. They don't have a big choice of pizzas but it is the best pizza in London.

2. Canta Napoli in Chiswick



Canta Napoli is a very small pizza restaurant in Chiswick just off the highstreet, it's very popular in the area, their food is great and the price is cheap. It's the typical Italian place where there is only one or two waiters  and they run up and down as quick as they can to serve all the tables in a reasonable amount of time.
They make pizza and other dished which are all great.
Pizza dough is very good and light and the topping is plentiful.
The environment is simple and the tables size is big enough to eat comfortable.

3. Franco Manca



Franco Manca is one is of the most popular pizza restaurant for Italians in London. All Italians in London know about it!
After the first successful restaurant opened in Brixton many years ago they opened many others all around London.
The dough is think and soft, tomatoes is high quality, topping is not always plentiful though. Their menu is straight forward and it's all about pizza. After eating you won't feel too heavy but it will keep a lovely taste in your mouth.
Pizza can taste slightly different in different locations but all of them good quality.
I tried the one in Westfield in Stratford, the one in Tottenham court road and the one in Chiswick which was the best one.
The environment is simple and nice, tables are comfortable. They also have a good selection of wines even though with pizza wine is not the best match.
Some Franco Manca make other dishes as well, like the one Chiswick, others don't, like the one in Westfield.

You can choose between a wide choice of pizza and they also serve other Italian dishes in a seasonal menu.

Donna Margherita is one of Italians favourite Italian restaurant, they are original from Naples where pizza was born and that's why they serve good seafood dishes and fantastic pizza.

6. Fratelli La Bufala in Covent Garden


This is a chain from south of Italy, very popular in Milan but also other cities.
Pizza is very good with thick and soft dough, good tomatoes and good mozzarella. Topping is rich too.
They also serve other great dishes from the southern Italy traditions.
The downside of this restaurant is that service is not that good and quite often they ask you to sit in a very small table even if it is four of you, even if they place is big and not full, that makes the expirience a bit unconfortable.

This place is like you would expect an Italian restaurant to be. It's noisy and fun, all staff running and talking laud to each other.
