Luca is a beautiful Italian restaurant that serves up some great pizza. Their handmade Neapolitan-style pizza is quickly baked in their wood-fired oven using fresh local produce. Their mushroom pizza is divine: a white base pizza with fior di latte mozzarella, porcini & mixed wild mushroom, Parma ham, and rocket.

2. Moto Pizza

MOTO Pizza is no ordinary pizzeria. You get one choice: Bottomless Pizza, your very own pizza roulette where no piece is the same. It’s a fun and unique feast. You hit the green light on your table and waiters bring over slices until you’re stuffed.

They offer the classics alongside unique flavour combinations. You will discover the ingredients you love but never considered as a pizza topping.

3. A Canteen

This lovely family-run all day restaurant and bar prides themselves on sourcing and using only ethical and sustainable ingredients. You can taste the goodness in every bite, especially their pizza. Our fave? The Pigs, with ham hock, streaky bacon, apple sauce, Bishops stilton and watercress.

4. DOUGH&co WoodFired Pizza

Dough&co’s proper wood-fired pizza is the real deal, with chewy, fluffy crusts and a thin base. Gourmet toppings include fior di latte Mozzarella and spicy Calabrian n’duja sausage. Along with great service this is not a place you are going to want to miss.

5. Irmas

Irmas is a truly great neighbourhood restaurant, with authentic Italian food and snacks. There are lots of other great items on the menu (the Amatriciana pasta is divine!), but it is hard to look past the pizza. The bases are thing and crispy and come with a large selection of delicious toppings.
