Santa Maria Fitzrovia is an independently owned pizza restaurant in the heart of Central London. Situated beneath the BT Tower, this Italian joint has stayed true to its Neapolitan roots, with everything from the tomatoes to the stones used to build the ovens sourced from around Naples. 

Decorated to evoke the image of the Italian coffee bars that sprung up around London in the 1960s, Santa Maria Fitzrovia has an element of Art Deco to it, with flashes of pinks, yellows and greens bringing a retro feel to the building.

Their menu is a great success, proven by the popularity of its Fulham, Islington, Brentford and original Ealing branch. Expect authentic toppings such as smoked mozzarella and buffalo DOP, as well as vegan options. They don't skimp on desserts either, with a rich and creamy tiramisu.
