We Londoners have a love affair with pizza, and we are truly lucky to have a true Neapolitan gem - L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele in our city. Originating in Naples and often described as the best pizza in the world, its history dates back to 1870. This iconic pizzeria, founded by Michele Condurro, has set up shop in the heart of London, offering locals and visitors alike a chance to experience authentic Neapolitan pizza-making at its finest.
L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele is not merely a pizzeria; it's a living testament to the Neapolitan pizza-making tradition. The restaurant faithfully adheres to the age-old tradition of selecting high-quality natural ingredients and employing a unique dough leavening process that yields a soft and airy crust - all to ensure that every bite carries the essence of Naples.

The journey of L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele from Naples to London is not just a geographical shift but a testament to its global reputation. This pizzeria gained international recognition when author Elizabeth Gilbert hailed it as the best pizza in Naples in her book Eat, Pray, Love. And later, Julia Roberts was seen indulging in the tasty pizza in the movie adaptation.
While Da Michele's menu offers a delightful array of options, there are two pizzas that are absolute must-tries. The Margherita, with its double mozzarella topping, captures the simplicity and authenticity of Neapolitan pizza. Alternatively, the Truffle Mushroom pizza, crowned the 2019 champion at the London Pizza Festival, is nothing short of delicious. Upon that initial bite, you'll quickly discover why it's a true standout.

You will not be disappointed!
