The London Pizza Delivery Guide

It’s safe to say that that this past year, dough enthusiasm took the country by storm. And while there was a time when bags of flour were popping up on eBay like the latest Supreme drop, the best kind of dough has always 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

If there’s one thing that can make us believe in a higher power, it’s the same people behind Circolo Popolare and Gloria opening a delivery service.

Find out if you’re in their Kentish Town or Wood Green delivery zones here.

This Crouch End pizzeria is delivering its Neapolitan-style pizzas around North London. With thin tomatoey bases, chewy crusts, and toppings like nduja, mozzarella di bufala, and aubergine, this spot will satisfy that craving.

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.

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.

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.

Lost Boys is a real mood. They’re a casual Camden pizza joint with a mild vampire theme and moody, charcoal pizzas to match.

They’re also delivering their cocktails and have some seriously good meal deals.
