It’s safe to say that that dough enthusiasm has taken the country by storm, but though there are bags of flour popping up on eBay like the latest Supreme drop, the best kind of dough still comes out of box, hot and ready, covered in cheese and sauce. That’s because pizza is still one of (if not the) best takeaway to get. Here’s a guide to where you should be ordering them in from.

NORTH

We’re a little bit obsessed with the spicy salami La Diavola pizza from Quartieri. And when we say a little bit, we mean a lot. But if you’re not in the mood for something with a chilli kick, you can’t go wrong with ordering their other traditional Napoli pizzas either. They’re based in Kilburn and also have a little deal going on where you can get 2 pizzas for £18.
Pizzeria Pappagone
For all our fans of mozzarella and alliteration out there, Pizzeria Pappagone is for you. This neighbourhood spot in Stroud Green have been serving their margheritas, pizza alla americana, and classic Hawaii, since the 90s. Heads up, there’s also gelato.
La Saporita
Another Stroud Green neighbourhood pizzeria, La Saporita delivers the kind of food that’s like a warm hug. We’re talking calamari fritti, gnocchi al gorgonzola, and of course, pizza. Their traditional pizze starts at £7.50 for margherita, but they have everything from a 16-inch vegetarian medley to a half-pizza, half-calzone to choose from.

True Craft is one of those neighbourhood spots that will make you understand the concept of Cheers. Part pub, part pizzeria this Seven Sisters local are now delivering their excellent sourdough pizzas, including our personal favourite, the Bang! Pepper. If mascarpone and sweet balsamic peppers don’t take your fancy, we’re also very into the Nduja Like it. Mostly because it’s tasty but yes, partially because we love a pun.

Yard Sale Pizza
Yard Sale have started to become closely associated with the pubs close to their five locations, and their UFO-sized 19-inch pizzas should become closely associated with your face. Chuck your postcode into their shop locator to see if they deliver to you. For your sake, we hope they do.
L'Artista
L’artista Pizzeria have 27 different types of pizza, including a half-pizza half-calzone situation which you can order to your door if you live around Golders Green. If you like pizza and difficult decisions order here.
Purezza
Are you vegan? Do you like pizza? Do you like puppies? Okay, well, everyone likes puppies. But if you answered yes to the previous questions then Purezza is for you. They deliver exclusively vegan Italian food, including their plant-based sourdough pizzas. Expect toppings like shaved seitan, aubergine, black truffle, and wood-smoked tofu.

Zia Lucia
Much like our exes and pre-isolation dreams, there are Zia Lucias scattered across London. Their Holloway branch is delivering across north London and they’re serving a short and sweet menu of Grade A proper pizza using their 48-hour, slow-risen dough.
Sacro Cuore
There’s nothing like consuming an industrial amount of parmesan shavings to brighten up another riveting day in quarantine. That’s exactly what you’ll find on top of several of Sacro Cuore’s hand-stretched, Napolitana-style pizzas. As well as the option to get their pizza, they’re also delivering things like garlic focaccia, burrata, and tiramisu.

Lost Boys is a real mood. They’re a casual Camden pizza joint with a mild vampire theme and moody, charcoal pizzas to match. If you’re thinking that a spot that has something called ‘Fangs For The Memory’ on their menu would be naff, think again, the pizza here is great. They’re also delivering their cocktails and have some seriously good meal deals.
East West
If you’re of the strong opinion that a Hawaiian pizza is absolute blasphemy, look away now. Still with us? Good. Because East West might not make the most traditional pizza but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying their creative dishes. This Tufnell Park spot delivers Italian pizza with Indian toppings - think a masala margherita and punjabi quattro formaggio, but there are also some classics on offer if you’re more of a traditionalist.
Starting at just £6, the wood-fired pizzas from Happy Face are great value around King’s Cross. Locals can pick up, and they’re also delivering in the evenings, from Wednesday to Saturday. You can top off your pizza order with a selection of cocktails, wines, and beers. And, we don’t mean to alarm you, but there’s also a Nutella pizza on the menu.
Sodo Pizza Cafe - Walthamstow
We’ve said before that the sourdough pizza from Sodo is consistently up there with the best in London. And now that we’ve made our own “pizza” at home. We mean it more than ever. Thankfully they’re alternating open days between their Walthamstow and Clapton branches. Call 020 8520 1244 or check their Instagram for opening and collection details.
SOUTH

Theo’s in Camberwell makes some of London’s chewiest, sauciest, most-chilli-sauce-suited Neapolitan-style pizza in London, and they’re doing local delivery only around their restaurant in Camberwell. Call 0203 026 4224 Wednesday-Sunday, or drop an email to info@theoscamberwell.com. They’re also selling pizza donation vouchers for the team at King’s College Hospital.
Made of Dough
Sharing is caring when it comes to pizza, or at least it is when we want some. With that in mind, Peckham’s Made of Dough are doing lunchtime, dinner, and all-day deals involving their fior di latte covered pizzas, garlic bread with a side of rosemary aioli, and sometimes a bottle of wine too.
Well Kneaded
Well Kneaded in Wandsworth has a solid selection of red sauce pizzas, a veggie special and a vegan option too, and some mini 9 inch options for kids. They’re open from late afternoon and you can order here.

Four Hundred Rabbits
The pizzas from Four Hundred Rabbits are not entirely your usual suspects. There’s a goat’s cheese and rhubarb-topped one, an all-vegan three cheese and sausage one, plus your standard tomato and meat covered go-tos. They’re dotted around south, with locations in Nunhead, Crystal Palace, West Norwood, and Herne Hill too.
EAST
Yard Sale have started to become closely associated with pubs close to their five locations, and their UFO-sized 19-inch pizzas should become closely associated with your face. Chuck your postcode into their shop locator to see if they deliver to you. For your sake, we hope they do.
The pizzas from Trattoria N16 are charred and doughy, which is just how we like them, and you probably will too. This Newington Green spot has a pretty good selection - the salsiccia friarielli with fennel sausage and broccoli is a favourite - and you can order a bottle of natural wine if you fancy it too.
Live near Old Street? You can now get clay-oven pizzas delivered from Passo, as well as Make Your Own Pizza Kits in case you want to feel, you know, like you made it yourself. Whether you choose a pizza or a kit, it’s hard to go wrong with some burrata, and a bottled negroni on the side. You can order here.
Story Deli
If you’re a pizza purist, then you might not get on with Story Deli. But if you’re open to interpretation, and partial to super-crisp and super-thin pizzas from a space that may or may not be an artist’s studio or a Cereal magazine shoot, then you’ll like what this little spot in Hackney does. Call 07918 197 352, or email info@storydeli.com
Anima D'Italia
We’ve said before that the sourdough pizza from Sodo is consistently up there with the best in London. And now that we’ve made our own “pizza” at home. We mean it more than ever. Thankfully they’re alternating open days between their Walthamstow and Clapton branches. Call 020 8520 1244 or check their Instagram for opening and collection details.
WEST
Santa Maria Pizzeria
Zia Lucia

When pizza has become your primary food group, it can be pretty nice to switch it up. Tokyo Pizza in Maida Vale do creative takes on your classic pizzas, including a wagyu beef short rib number that’s covered in spicy mayo and yaki niku liquor. Expect plenty of kimchi, sweet soy truffle glaze, Japanese salads, and cold sake.
If we were going to describe Notting Hill’s Saporitalia in one word, we’d say old school. Okay, technically that’s two words, but the point is that this classic, lowkey spot is serving some very decent pizza. You’ll find all of the classic pizza combinations on their long menu, as well as wine, pasta dishes, and of course, a tiramisu.
Arancina
Look, we’re going to tell you about Arancina’s pizzas in a hot second, but let’s just kick this off by telling you that this Notting Hill spot do a nutella pizza ring. We repeat, a nutella pizza ring. Anyway, back to the pizzas - they deliver paletta style, long, rectangular pizza that are perfect for sharing. Or you know, destroying in one blissful sitting.
Meridionale
It’s been said that Fulham is the Amalfi Coast of Britain. Ok so no-one said that, but Meridionale is serving southern Italian specialties like burrata Pugliese, pizza, and tiramisu. So you might not be on the Amalfi coast, but at least you can order some decent pizza.
Made in Italy
CENTRAL
L’antica Pizzeria Da Michele
This Baker Street spot is the sibling to one of Naples’ best pizzerias. Basically, if you think about it for long enough, ordering from here is almost like you’re travelling. Kind of. Anyway, although their pizzas are more expensive than most, it’s worth it if you’ve got a serious craving for the Neapolitan variety. They’re also delivering their charcuterie, arancino, and plenty more classic Italian starters.
50 Kalò Di Ciro Salvo Pizzeria
Two minutes from Trafalgar Square, this Naples style pizzeria does high-hydration dough. Do we know what that means? Absolutely not. But it sounds legit. As well as toppings like provolo smoked cheese, irpinnian salami, and 24-month shaved parmesan, they also have a couple of vegan options and a ricotta cheesecake dessert.
Ecco Pizza
Over on Drury Lane, Ecco are a casual Italian spot delivering pizza favourites like a four cheese, a big pepperoni number, and one called ‘spicy’ that involves Spanish chorizo and jalapenos. Most of their pizzas are around the £11 mark, but for an extra couple of pounds you can upgrade to one of their bigger, speciality pizzas.
Santa Maria is a west London stalwart and, thankfully, they’re still delivering from their Fitzrovia location. Their pizza is both crispy and soft, saucy and all over your face, and the buffalo mozzarella is as creamy as you can get delivered.
The Lebanese Bakery
Technically, this Covent Garden spot is delivering manousheh - traditional Lebanese flatbreads. But you know what, they’re doughy, they’re cheesy, and most importantly, they’re pretty tasty too. From spiced beef and lamb to diced sirloin with pomegranate and toasted pine nuts, there are plenty of different options to choose from and it’s worth an order of the hummus too.
If you’re around Old Street or Clerkenwell, Fare Bar And Canteen is delivering tasty pizzas, as well as a small selection of groceries, wines, beers, and 750ml bottles of pre-mixed cocktails that you’re definitely going to want to get involved in. Keep in mind that they fire up the pizza ovens at 5pm every evening.
