Crispy NYC-style pizza is the mainstay at this walk-ins-only newcomer in Marylebone, where Sicilian-born chef Francesco Macri knocks out thin, 14-inch pizzas topped with imported Italian ingredients. According to our diners’ poll it’s not bad, but whether it’s worth braving the queues inspired by its instant TikTok fame is more dubious. And as of August 2024, you can also grab a slice or some of their signature meatballs in tomato sauce on the King’s Road in Chelsea, complete with gingham tablecloths, church pew-style seating, and episodes of ‘The Sopranos’ silently projected on an endless loop.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
