Best for a grab-and-go slice: World Famous Gordos

Catch World Famous Gordos slinging NY slices seven days a week from a shed at Netil Market. Around the corner from London Fields, we suggest ordering a couple of slices with an ice-cold Pabst beer, then taking them to the park to enjoy alfresco.

Which pizza to order at World Famous Gordos?
Skip the classic NY slice and make a beeline for the spicy pepperoni with tomato, mozzarella, smoky scamorza cheese and a distinctly crunchy, salty everything bagel sesame seed coated crust (best liberally dunked into a pot of garlic and herb). You can also expect a playful Chef Spesh every week, like an NY dog number with mozzarella, tomatoes, hot dogs, sauerkraut and onions, finished with a drizzle of mustard and a garlic-salt crust. When we visited, the special was a moreish sweet-and-heat slice loaded with mozzarella, fior di latte, crushed candied pineapples, ’nduja and fresh parsley – such a standout it deserves a full-time spot on the menu.

Address: 13-23 Westgate Street, London E8 3RL
Nearest tube station: London Fields
Opening times: Sunday-Wednesday (11am-4:30pm); Thursday (11am-6:30pm); Friday-Saturday (11am-9:30pm)

Best for Lower East Side slices, squares and whole pies: Paulie's

Paulie’s brings the Lower East Side spirit to Spitalfields, serving big, wide and hot 70s-style NYC pizzas by the slice as grandma-style squares or as 14” or 18” whole pies.

The casual space leans into the retro charm: burnt orange counters, rust brown stools and yellow scalloped stained-glass shades give it the feel of an old-school slice shop, with classic American hits blasting from the speakers.

Which pizza to order at Paulie’s?
Classic flavours (NYC, pepperoni, burrata) sit alongside playful twists on Italian dishes: the cacio a pepe square is light yet squidgy, with a rich, comforting sauce blanketed in nutty pecorino. The massive pizza slices – hanging over the edge of the white paper plates – are made to fold. Paulie's Pie is the bestseller for a reason: crisp, chewy and laden with a rich red sauce, aged mozzarella, pepperoni, pickled chillies, hot honey and parmesan. It perfectly balances sweet, sharp and savoury notes.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Ranch and tomato jalapeño dips are reliable crust dunkers, while frozen lageritas arrive with dinky Modelo beers suspended in the glass – an icy foil for New York pizza. Box up any left-over slices and make a beeline for the dinky pudding pots: the banana pudding is enjoyably sweet, light and creamy, while the house-made espresso soft serve comes with a ladyfinger in a cheeky nod to tiramisu.

Address: 144-146 Commercial St, London E1 6NU
Nearest train station: Shoreditch High Street
Opening times: Monday-Sunday (12pm-10pm)

Best for XL slices and 20-inch pies: Dough Hands at All My Friends

Cult favourite Dough Hands is stepping into the XL slice game with a new residency at late-night venue All My Friends in Hackney Wick, following its departure from The Old Nun’s Head in south London. Taking over the shipping container, diners can tuck into big, bold and crispy pizzas, served by the slice or as whole 20-inch pies, made with regenerative flour from Shipton Mill and Wildfarmed.

Which pizza to order at Dough Hands?
Expect Dough Hand's signature classics alongside bold new flavour combinations, including Lamiri harissa aubergine and salted ricotta, tequila sauce and chilli sausage with house pickled jalapeño, and speck and pineapple with house guindilla. On our visit we relished the 20-inch Stracci & Peppers special, bursting at the seams with tomato, garlic, capers, olives, pecorino, roasted peppers, chillies, stracciatella and anchovies.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Dough Hand's utterly superior crusts are best enjoyed when plunged into the hot and herby jalapeño and dill sauce, which is just as delicious (if not more) than the pizza itself. Order your drinks from the bar: All My Friends stocks a wide range of cocktails, craft beers, natural wines and premium soft drinks.

Address: Unit 1, Hamlet Estate, 96 White Post Lane, London E9 5EN
Nearest station: Hackney Wick

Best for east coast style: Bar Etna

Four Legs founder Ed McIlroy (of The Plimsoll and Tollington’s) has teamed up with Philadelphian pizza chef Joe Beddia to launch Bar Etna, a lively bar-cum-pizzeria already drawing crowds in Stoke Newington.

The hip space blends the late-night energy of Philadelphia pizza culture with the ease of an Italian neighbourhood bar. Set over a split-level space, the social ground floor bar takes inspiration from mid-century Milan with stainless steel, mirrored surfaces and terrazzo tiles. Diners are encouraged to perch or spill onto the street. The upstairs dining area features a darker palette, with a custom floor mosaic and timber panelling for a more intimate feel.

Which pizza to order at Bar Etna?
Expect Joe’s east coast style pies with a thin crust. Four 14-inch pizzas are on offer: we tried Number One – a full-frontal cheese feast – and the spinach-studded Etna Curry, which packs an incendiary punch even for advanced spice lovers.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Simply titled snacks (salad, beans, anchovies) share equal billing on the focused menu. The tomato pie focaccia is pleasantly sweet and tangy. Anchovies and colossal judion beans sit in puddles of olive oil. A swirl of coffee soft serve completes the offering, perfectly balancing espresso and cream. The drinks list includes European wines, three house spritzes (vermouth and hibiscus is a must order) and £5 negronis on tap.

Address: 47 Newington Green, Newington Green, London N16 9PX
Nearest tube station: Canonbury
Opening times: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday (5pm-11pm); Friday and Saturday (5pm-12:30am); Sunday 12-5pm

Best for light and crispy: Pizza Circle at The Old Nun's Head

Slice Circle comes from co-founders Angus Whitfield, who honed his craft at Dough Hands, and Methun Chelvan, previously at Bad Boy Pizza Society. The pizza pros have taken the reins from Dough Hands with a new permanent residency at the iconic The Old Nun's Head pub. This means south-east London denizens can still enjoy stellar pizza at their beloved local.

Which pizza to order at Slice Circle?
The menu offers five signature New York style 14-inchers. The pies draw inspiration from the famous NYC crunch mouthfeel, sturdy and satisfying. They are not too dissimilar from Dough Hand's no-flop bakes. Slice Circle's answer to the hot honey craze, the Nun Pie, is a triumph. It offers a super-thin, light, crispy bite topped with San Marzano, fior di latte, soppressata, whipped ricotta, hot honey and pecorino shaved over the crusts. We also enjoyed the monthly special, Tamil Pie, which pays homage to Methun’s home country of India. It's a salty, smoky, sweet combination of masala vodka sauce, fior di latte, chilli and garlic sausage, burnt and confit sweet peppers, pickled red onion, basil and pecorino.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Juicy crusts are designed for dunking into dips such as Calabrian chilli and lemon, garlic and herb and ranch. House tiramisu is served tableside for dessert. For drinks, the extensive list covers craft beers and cask ales, house cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic beers.

Address: Old Nunshead, 15 Nunhead Grn, London SE15 3QQ
Nearest tube station: Nunhead
Opening times: Monday-Friday (4pm-9pm), Saturday (12pm-9pm)

Best for thin-crust: Weezie's

Weezie's is the latest addition to London's growing collection of pizzerias dishing up crisp, thin-crust pizzas. This venture is from Abbie Roden and Will Sandbach, the duo behind neighbouring wine bar amie. Located within Eccleston Yards, the coveted spot's reclaimed furniture and high ceilings make it feel more chic hideout than pizza joint.

Which pizza to order at Weezie's?
Pizza is made with Wildfarmed regeneratively farmed flour and premium British ingredients. The compact menu sticks to a few classic flavour pairings, along with some inventive options such as a white pizza swirled with garlic-whipped labneh, watercress, smoked pickle dressing and chives. The highlight, the sobrassada – topped with fior di latte, Curing Rebels sobrassada, charred sweetcorn, hot honey, parmesan dusting and fresh parsley – steals the show with its vivid toppings and balance of creamy, umami-rich flavours.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Buttermilk ranch and confit garlic mayo make for punchy crust-dipping. There's also a generously piled pickle plate to start and Torres crisps loaded with aged ham, guindillas, cornichons and a parmesan blanket. Wine is provided by the studio next door, so you can expect quaffable rosé, crémant and orange, along with a four-strong cocktail selection: spicy margaritas were already out of stock by 7pm but we did enjoy a botanical lemon spritz with Allora aperitivo.

Address: 4, 15 Eccleston Yards, London SW1W 9AZ
Nearest tube station: Victoria
Opening times: Tuesday-Friday (5pm-10pm); Saturday-Sunday (12pm-10pm)

Best for trendy London pizza: Hot Saint Pizza at The Old Queen's Head

Tom Budakan, former chef from beloved Dough Hands, is busy bringing his own spin on London-style pizza to this convivial Islington pub. Expect crispy pizzas with a base made from a high-protein Canadian flour and a small amount of rye for a slightly nutty flavour. The dough is fermented for a minimum of 48 hours to ensure a light yet crisp crust.

Which pizza to order at Hot Saint Pizza?
Tom's concise menu majors on all the classic pizzas, along with a few unique flavour combinations, such as our favourite, the Spicy Hawaiian (San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, guanciale and smoked ham hock, pineapple, smoked chilli and jalapeños). The Shrooms Bianca – topped with fior di latte, roasted oyster and chestnut mushrooms, dolcelatte, caramelised onions and parmesan – will convert shroom sceptics for its tangy, umami-rich profile.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Garlic ranch and smoky chilli make above average dips. There are also pizza sandwiches, which include the Spicy Chicken Parm with vodka sauce, fior di latte, pesto and basil, and the House Meatball, with vodka sauce, smoked mozzarella, pesto and red onion. Order drinks from the bar, run by The Columbo Group (the team behind The Parakeet and The Jazz Cafe). Think expert cocktails and a great beer selection: we enjoyed an Asahi on draught plus a fruity sweet plum margarita, made with Patrón Reposado, plum wine, lime and agave.

Address: 44 Essex Road, London N1 8LN
Nearest tube station: Angel
Opening times: Monday-Thursday (4pm-10pm), Friday-Saturday (12pm-9:30pm), Sunday (12pm-6:45pm)

Best for crispy 18-inch pizzas: Spring Street Pizza

Tucked beneath the arches off Southwark Bridge Road, Spring Street Pizza is the latest project from Michelin-starred chef Tom Kemble. Drawing on over 15 years’ experience at the helm of acclaimed restaurants, Kemble brings a refined yet relaxed approach to this pizzeria, merging the bold character of New York pizza joints with a polished London aesthetic.

Which pizza to order at Spring Street Pizza? Impressive 18-inch New York-style pizzas are available whole or as half-and-half, crafted with premium ingredients for maximum flavour. The dough is made in-house and undergoes a 48–72 hour fermentation, resulting in a crust that is light, crisp and perfect for dipping into house sauces such as green goddess and confit garlic aioli. The menu caters for traditionalists with classic marinara and margherita options, while those seeking something more adventurous might opt for the New Yorker, topped with San Marzano tomato, pepperoni from rebel charcuterie, Parmigiano Reggiano, hot honey and basil.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Try the fried breadcrumb mozzarella sticks finished with 22-month parmesan, or round off your meal with smooth vanilla soft-serve, sour cherry and pistachio. The drinks list is carefully chosen, including cocktails, wines and beers; notable choices are the mezcal margarita with a hint of chilli and a zesty Italian orange wine.

Address: Arch 32, Southwark Quarter, Southwark St, London SE1 1TE
Nearest tube station: London Bridge

Best for NYC-style slices: Vincenzo's Shoreditch

Vincenzo's in Shoreditch is the second location from Tom Vincent, who opened his first location in Bushey in 2022 and watched it become a cult favourite. You can now find his signature crispy, thin-crust whole pies and pizza by the slice in the capital, bringing New York’s late-night energy and providing Londoners with a new way to enjoy pizza: fresh, hot, generous slices to grab and go. It's made such a mark that it's already a buzzing London institution.

Which pizza to order at Vincenzo's?
Order by the slice or indulge in a 16-inch pie if you're hungry. NYC fold is served on grease-stained paper plates, with simple toppings alongside the likes of spicy vodka sauce, plus a fun take on a Greek-inspired spanakopita. NY slices are the emphasis, however our favourite has to be the focaccia, served by the square: it's tangy, chewy and loaded with premium toppings like burrata and pepperoni (drizzled in hot honey, no less). Super heavenly, though be warned: you may never look at pizza the same way again.

What else is there to eat and drink?
It's primarily a grab and go situation, with just a few stools to perch, so the only thing left to order are the quietly formidable dips: a hot and sweet roquito ranch (our favourite), truffle mayo, garlic and herb, and hot honey. There's also a range of soft drinks.

Address: 122 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 6DG
Nearest tube station: Shoreditch High Street
Opening times: Wednesday-Sunday (12pm-10pm)

Best for 'Britalian' pizza: Connie's

Find this smart and cosy pizzeria set under the arches of Queen’s Road Peckham, taking over the site formerly occupied by South African restaurant Little Kudu. It is the latest project from Andrea Asciuti, founder of acclaimed Neapolitan hot spot 081 Pizzeria. Named after his wife, the focus is on Britalian style pizzas, injecting London-style pizza (light, crispy, premium toppings) with Italian soul, all while using seasonal, local ingredients.

Which pizza to order at Connie's?
Andrea leaves his expertise in Neapolitan-style pizza behind for pies which are crisp and airy, with dough fermented for 36-48 hours and baked at 370C using American flour (you won't find floppy slices here). Expect up to eight different pizzas on the menu, from a classic margherita to a double pepperoni with hot honey, as well as 'nduja and British stracciatella.

What else is there to eat and drink?
There is a quartet of starters to choose from: cheesy dough balls, deep-fried mac ’n’ cheese, mozzarella sticks and meatballs. The mozzarella fingers easily make it into the cheese-pull hall of fame, while the mac 'n' cheese bites make crunchy morsels which taste even better liberally dunked into a pot of tangy blue cheese sauce. There is one dessert, presented in three forms: fiocco di neve mini brioche filled with either pistachio, Nutella or ricotta whipped cream.

Address: 133 Queen’s Road, SE15 2ND.
Nearest train station: Queen's Road Peckham
Opening times: Monday-Wednesday (5-11pm); Thursday-Saturday (12-11pm); Sunday (12-10pm)

Best for deep-dish Detroit pizza: Ria's

Ria’s is a cosy, laid-back spot selling fantastic deep-dish Detroit-style pizza and natural wines. It's perfect for intimate dates and candle-lit catch-ups, full of charm and character. The latest Soho site is snug yet stylishly furnished, building on everything that made the Notting Hill original a hit, with exciting new slices and a low-lit wine cave.

Which pizza to order at Ria's?
Ria’s ferments its dough for up to 72 hours, which gives it a deeper flavour and a deliciously chewy crust. Deep-dish pizza is filling but the pies at Ria’s never feel too much. Our favourite flavours were the House Pie and the Soho Chilli Crisp. The first had a red sauce base and a devilishly delicious combination of ricotta, basil and lemon drizzle. The latter was laden with ’nduja, Lao Gan Ma crispy chilli oil, pickled shallots, spring onions and aged parmesan – tongue-tingling and tangy.

What else is there to eat and drink?
There is a great range of natural wine to sip alongside your slice at Ria’s: we enjoyed a glass of Orange de Rias for its tropical brightness, and a glass of Herrigoia – a crunchy, easy-going red with tart cherry notes. There's also a small but sharp cocktail list, bottled beer and a good range of soft drinks.

If you’ve got room for dessert, treat yourself to a deep-fried Mars bar with soft serve vanilla ice cream. Sprinkled with a little bit of sea salt, it really is the ultimate treat.

Address: 29 Foubert's Place, London W1F 7QF
Nearest tube station: Oxford Circus
Opening times: Monday-Sunday (12pm-10pm)

Best for London-style pizza: Dough Hands

Dough Hands has garnered a cult following due to its crisp dough and feather-light crust, made possible by baking its pizzas low and slow at 350 degrees. Led by pizzaiolo Hannah Drye, this trendy pizza joint is co-pioneering the emerging London pizza, a style which mashes up various influences including a New York inspired thin crust and light base.

Dough Hands is currently doing a permanent kitchen residency at Hackney-based The Spurstowe Arms.

Which pizza to order at Dough Hands? The menu features a handful of 12-inch pizzas. The Jode – arguably the most popular and delicious – sees spicy sausage and stracciatella drizzled with hot honey, finished with a sprinkle of fresh basil and parmesan. Veggies have a cause to celebrate thanks to the Shroomy 2.0, one of the freshest vegetarian offerings we’ve tried. Expect mushrooms roasted in soy sauce, topped with soft taleggio cheese, tarragon, garlic and grana padano. The soy provides a rich umami kick which isn’t typically seen atop mushroom pizzas.

What else is there to eat and drink? Sides are kept simple, with just the garlic bread available, covered in a herby garlic butter. Dips includes everyone’s favourite garlic and herb, as well as Dough Hands’ signature hot honey and very own fermented hot sauce. Happy Endings ice cream sandwiches are also available at the bar.

We washed down our pizzas with a cold beer – we opted for a pint of Lucky Saint lager and a Lazer Crush by Beavertown, a razor-sharp alcohol-free IPA.

Address: The Spurstowe Arms, 68 Greenwood Rd, London E8 1AB
Nearest train station: Hackney Central
Opening times: Monday-Thursday (4:30-9pm); Friday (3:30-9pm); Saturday (12-9:30pm) and Sunday (12-6pm)

Best for inventive Napoli pizza: Napoli on the Road

Hidden in the back streets of Richmond you'll find this little gem of a pizza restaurant. The space is intimate and perfect for a date night or special occasion.

Which pizza to order at Napoli on the Road?
The pizza here is second to none – no surprise really as chef and owner Michele Pascarella won Global Pizza Maker of the Year in 2023. Famed for his inventive take on pizza, the ever-changing seasonal menu features exciting flavour combinations like roasted pumpkin, rosemary and blue cheese, alongside the classics, like margherita.

On visiting, we were blown away by the lighter than air, chewy base and quality toppings, as well as the friendly service which took us outside our pizza comfort zones.

What else is there to eat and drink?
Highlights include the shaved fennel salad with crumbled ricotta, olives and oregano, and the spicy pepperoni slice – both starters that worked perfectly with a negroni. We ended the night with a vast slice of tiramisu and a cloud of boozy crème diplomate and mille-feuille pastry. Full to the brim and happy, a walk along the river was just the ticket.

Address: 12 Red Lion St, Richmond TW9 1RW
Nearest train station: Richmond

Best for deep pan pizza: Little Earthquakes

This original concept from chef Neil Rankin and From the Ashes BBQ has taken up residency in Dalston boozer The Railway Tavern, serving up pies nostalgically inspired by deep pan pizza brand Chicago Town, using Italian and British ingredients supplied by local businesses around Newington Green, with sourdough bases made using Wildfarmed regenerative flour.

Which pizza to order at Little Earthquakes?
The pizzas may only be six inches in size but they deliver plenty of bang for their buck – decadent deep dish affairs with crunchy caramelised crusts, topped with mozzarella and snowy drifts of pecorino. Fillings are hearty and deliver maximum flavour. We tried the richly meaty and umami salami ragu using fennel salami, and the taleggio and guanciale, inspired by a classic carbonara, is lusciously cheesy and porky, the saltiness balanced by a touch of honey.

What else is there to eat and drink?
While the pizzas are the main focus you can also order the likes of plant-based meatballs (from Neil’s own Symplicity brand), cheesy focaccia, caponata parmigiana and a wonderfully OTT pizza focaccia sandwich with a hefty wedge of mortadella. Refresh yourself with traditional cask ales and craft beers from the pub bar.

Address: The Railway Tavern, 2 St Jude Street, London N16 8JT
Nearest train station: Dalston Kingsland
Opening times: Tuesday to Friday (6-9pm); Saturdays (3-9pm)

Best for thin-crust pizza: Alley Cats Pizza

Alley Cats pays homage to New York’s iconic pizza scene, with hunger-busting, thin and crispy 14" pizzas. London’s latest pizza outpost off Marylebone High Street is a small yet buzzy space, with gingham tablecloths, dimly lit lamps and a projector playing The Sopranos transporting diners to 90s NYC. Be prepared to queue, as it’s walk-in-only.

Which pizza to order at Alley Cats? If you prefer a thin-crust over a sloppy Neapolitan, you’ve come to the right place. The impressive 14" size is achieved through baking the pizzas in the traditional thin and crispy style, which are presented on silver stands by the side of your table. The menu is compact, with seven pizzas on offer. It includes the Smoked Pepperoni (tomato, aged mozzarella, habanero and honey) and our personal favourite, the white-based Wild Mushroom, with three types of wild shrooms and topped with taleggio, aged mozzarella, red onion jam and fried sage. Up the ante by adding dips – we tried a spicy ranch and herb-flecked aïoli.

What else is there to eat and drink? Don’t skip the starters for fear of over-ordering: the beefy meatballs are a must-try, slathered in slow-cooked tomato sauce and showered in aged parmesan. Cheesy garlic knots are hot, doughy morsels with a dunkable pot of tomato sauce. The dessert menu is short but complimentary: tiramisu and soft scoop ice-cream. The latter can be customised with your choice of toffee sauce, roasted hazelnuts or peanuts.

Address: 22 Paddington St, London W1U 5QY
Nearest tube station: Baker Street
Opening times: Monday-Sunday (12pm-11pm)

Best pizza and beer in East London: Ace Pizza at Pembury Tavern

This historic Hackney boozer is the home of Ace Pizza, a fun-loving pizza brand famed for its slow risen, picture-perfect Neapolitan pizzas which are stone baked for longer to achieve a crispier crust. Pembury Tavern is also under the stewardship of The Five Points Brewing Company, a local and independent brewery with modern brewing at the heart of its work.

Which pizza to order at Ace? If you like your pizzas heavily topped, doughy and with lashings of sauce, try the chicken shawarma, a fun spin on the classic kebab where house-made shawarma is layered with red onions, spicy marinara, garlic and herb sauce, Guindilla peppers, mozzarella, and fresh parsley. Pickled pink onion is the magic ingredient though, providing a gloriously tangy flavour to cut through the creamy garlic sauce.

What else is there to eat and drink? Pizzas span meat, veggie and vegan with the menu divided into red, white and green bases. Vegans can indulge in ‘Ooh Mami’, the creamy truffle bechamel providing the perfect base for a smattering of portobello mushrooms, cashew ricotta, caramelised onions, oregano oil, porcini salt and fresh parsley. Crust dippers include the enticing truffle aioli and a lip-smacking, fittingly named ‘crack sauce’. And, as the pub is a Five Points Brewery pub, plenty of beer is available to pair with your pizza, including a Five Points favourite the JUPA, a juicy and fruity pale ale with bold, citrus flavours.

Address: 90 Amhurst Rd, London E8 1JH
Nearest tube station: Hackney Downs
Opening times: Monday-Wednesday (4-11pm) Thursday-Friday (4-12am) Saturday (12-12am) Sunday (12-11pm)

Best for vegan pizza: Purezza

The UK’s first 100% vegan pizzeria, Purezza specialises in plant-based pizzas that respect the Neapolitan heritage. Where possible, this means using alternative versions of animal products, such as a plant-based mozzarella, which took more than two years to develop – this organic cheese (that’s dairy-free, low in fat and allergen-free) is made with brown rice milk and is unique to Purezza. Last year, the restaurant secured investment to begin producing the cheese from a factory for retail. The original Brighton restaurant opened in 2015 and was followed three years later by a Camden branch and plans for more later this year. In 2018, Purezza won National Pizza of the Year for its Parmigiana Party pizza, despite being the only plant-based entrant.

Address: 43 Parkway, London, Nw1 7PN
Nearest station: Camden Town
Opening times: Sunday – Thursday (12 – 10pm), Friday – Saturday (12 – 11pm)
