L' Antica Pizzeria Da Michele

About

L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele is an iconic Neapolitan‑style pizzeria that has earned worldwide acclaim for its simple, yet perfect, thin‑crust pizzas. The Soho branch brings the historic recipe straight from Naples to the heart of London’s West End, offering classic Margherita, Marinara, and a range of traditional starters, pastas, and desserts, all baked in a renovated gold‑fiber oven. Open from 12 pm to midnight every day—until 12:30 am on Friday and Saturday for those late‑night pizza lovers—visitors can enjoy a relaxed, walk‑in atmosphere, no reservations required. With a heritage that dates back to 1870 and a reputation that has earned it the title “The World’s Best Pizza,” this location is a must‑stop for foodies and casual diners alike. The restaurant’s elegant, two‑floor layout features a central wood‑fired oven, a ground‑floor black cocktail bar, a first‑floor red cocktail bar, and a private “green room” for special events. While the menu is not priced on the website, typical Neapolitan pizzas start at a modest price point, providing an authentic culinary experience without the expectation of a hefty bill. Though reservations are not accepted, the walk‑in policy allows guests to check availability and often secure a table during busy hours. For those looking to add a slice of Neapolitan heritage to their London visit, L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele’s Soho shop delivers on taste, ambiance, and history all in one delicious package.
