Ria's

Ria's brought its cult mix of Detroit-style pizza and natural wine to Foubert's Place in November 2025, its second London site after making a name at its first restaurant. Set over two floors just off Carnaby Street, it pairs deep-pan, square-cut pizzas from an open ground-floor kitchen with a basement wine cave, and quickly became one of the area's most talked-about openings.

For something different from the neighbourhood's Neapolitan spots, it is the place for Detroit pizza in Soho: thick, airy, crisp-bottomed squares made from slowly fermented Wildfarmed flour dough, proved for up to 72 hours. Downstairs, the wine cave sits among dough mixers and sacks of flour, with a marble sharing table and a low-intervention list to match the pizza.

Where to find the best Detroit pizza in Soho

The signature is the Detroit square: a deep, focaccia-like base with a caramelised cheese edge, cut into slabs and topped generously. The 72-hour ferment gives it a chewy, pillowy crumb and a crisp underside. Pair it with a glass from the natural wine list, and it becomes a proper sit-down meal rather than a grab-a-slice stop.

The pizza and the wine cave

With just 38 covers across two floors, an open kitchen upstairs and the flour-lined wine cave below, Ria's is built for lingering over pizza and wine. It sits among Foubert's Place's food and retail names, near ramen specialist Kanada-Ya, with more of the area's tables in our Soho restaurants listings.

How a visit works

Ria's Soho serves lunch and dinner daily on Foubert's Place, taking walk-ins and bookings; the small size means booking ahead helps at weekends. Menus and reservations are on its official site, and the opening was covered by Time Out.
