There’s a brand new best pizza in town and it’s off to north London for the excellent Ozzy’s Apizza, which you'll find in residence at the Bedford Tavern in Finsbury Park. An offshoot of a US New Haven-style pizza restaurant, the London launch was born out of a friendship between Craig Taylor (a New Haven Gooner) and Milo Oddi (a Finsbury Park local), who learned the ropes at Ozzy’s in Connecticut.
London is full of perfect pizza. The finest of fast foods, this delicious staple has been elevated far beyond its humble roots by great Italian restaurants in London, pop-ups, street food vendors and pub residencies, and we know just where to find these world-class wonders, because weve been eating our way across London in order to discover the best. Whether it’s delivered in a cardboard box or served in a swish restaurant, excellent pizza is hard to beat. Browse our list of the best pizza places in town and try not to drool on your screen.
