The Best Pizza Near Nut Tree Inn, by the Record

Rank 1. Dough & Brew
Sourdough Pizza
Sourdough pizza in a relaxed Warwick spot that leans more weekend-in-the-pub than Naples-by-the-book, and that's entirely the point. Dough & Brew is a casual pizzeria with a convivial streak, where the dough gets serious attention and the atmosphere stays loose. It doesn't chase the Neapolitan tradition; it runs its own Anglo-modern formula instead, which 50 Top Pizza Europe has noted among its excellent pizzerias.

The menu at this Chiswick pizzeria rotates every three months, which is either very principled or a good reason to keep coming back. Michele Pascarella's Napoli on the Road lands at number five on the 50 Top Pizza World list, and the dough is the reason people cite: light, fragrant, and built on what sounds like an almost obsessive amount of technique. The room is casual enough that you won't feel underdressed for ordering a second pie.

Rank 3. Vita Mia Pizzeria
Neapolitan Pizza
Long-fermented dough is the quiet argument at this Neapolitan pizza spot in Ealing, where lightness is the point and showmanship is decidedly not. The room leans into warm Italian-trattoria comfort, the kind that makes a Tuesday feel like a reasonable night for a long dinner. It works equally well for a relaxed catch-up or something slightly more date-shaped, which is more than most pizza places can honestly claim.

Rank 4. L’Antica Pizzeria
Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza in Hampstead, which tells you something about both the pizza and the neighborhood. L'Antica Pizzeria takes the tradition seriously without treating it like a sacred text, turning out light, airy dough with a fermentation that does the work quietly in the background. The room is cozy and informal, the pace unhurried, and the whole thing suits the leafy, unhurried village-that-forgot-it's-in-London energy of Heath Street.
