London’s Best Pizzerias for National Pizza Day

The one day of the year to unashamedly celebrate the best thin and crispy, deep-pan, oozing burrata-topped, and vegan pizzas that London has to offer

Zia Lucia | Islington, Brook Green & Boxpark Wembley

Authentic Italian pizzeria Zia Lucia now has three venues across London: in Islington, Brook Green and newly opened, Boxpark Wembley. Famed for its pizzas on four signature doughs – including a gluten free dough and a black vegetable charcoal base – Zia Lucia champions uncomplicated Italian flavours and Italian neighbourhood charm. The pizza toppings ranging from classics such as Via del Campo (tomato, fiordilatte mozzarella, tomatoes da campo, fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil) and the Arianna (mozzarella, fresh Italian sausage, taleggio goat cheese, pecorino cheese, truffle honey) which is Zia Lucia’s best-selling twist on a traditional pizza bianca.

Lost Boys Pizza | Camden & Archway

Lost Boys Pizza is inspired by the cult classic vampire movie ‘The Lost Boy’s’ and has become renowned for its black charcoal pizza, killer cocktails and a strictly 80s soundtrack. With pun-laden, vampire-tastic names chalked on the walls and fresh, delicious ingredients, the pizza is all about toppings you know but not as you as expect, all served on the Lost Boys signature black charcoal dough.

Pizza favourites include Fangs for the Memories (chorizo, peppers, onion, chilis) and the Frog Brothers Special (Apple-smoked ham, artichokes, pickled mushrooms). Blood-thirsty vegans can enjoy a range of dedicated toppings including the Kale all Vampires (kale, cherry tomatoes, caramelised shallots, lemon zest and oregano), while those with a sweet tooth can sink fangs into vegan and gluten free brownies or cheesecake.

Heist Bank | Paddington

To get a pizza fix like no other on National Pizza Day, Heist Bank in Paddington have some delectable options to choose from. With mouth-watering choices such as a Radicchio, pears, toasted walnut, gorgonzola or the meaty wild boar sausage, potato, rosemary, chill. Heist Bank is the prefect place to celebrate the universally loved Italian classic. Pair your perfect pizza with a local craft beer and stay for the evening and get competitive over a game of pool or foosball in the Games Room.

Bobby Fitzpatrick | West Hampstead

Bobby Fitzpatrick’s is the ideal place to go for an old-school American-diner style pizza. Not only is Bobby’s a retro haunt, but the emphasis also lies on fun and relaxed food. On National Pizza Day Bobby’s will be offering classic deep crust American pizzas with both traditional and exotic toppings such as chicken tikka and lamb doner. The characterful and unapologetically retro venue combines 1970s decor with retro cocktails and playful pizzas, reminiscent of the best TV suppers of childhood.
