Cinquecento

Cinquecento is a Neapolitan pizzeria on the streets of Soho, London. It was set up a decade ago by Emanuele and Melo, two Italians who wanted to share the pizza of their homeland. The place has since become a landmark for people who take their pizza seriously, where Neapolitan tradition meets the energy of London.

The dough follows Nonna's secret recipe, and the kitchen uses top-quality D.O.P ingredients, so each slice reflects Italy's culinary roots. The room is busy and the decor warm and inviting. They turn out close to 1,000 pizzas a day, which says a lot about the appetite for authentic Italian pizza in the city.

Many call it "London's best pizza". The founders' journey from Naples to London shows in every bite, and ten years on the place is still going strong, proof that genuine Neapolitan pizza doesn't date.
