"Santa Maria has deservedly held the “best pizza in Ealing” title for quite some time, but this tight spot on Northfield Avenue — in which the oven takes up around 60 percent of the room and the smell of charring dough circles like a benevolent spirit — is giving it something to think about. Much like another feted neighbourhood spot, Pizzeria Pellone, the classics are flawless but it’s the house specials that really flex: king prawns and pancetta hang out on a ricotta canvas, while speck, porcini, and gorgonzola put umami treble on the superb base." - James Hansen
