"A renowned Neapolitan pizzeria and major international export is set to open a 60-seat restaurant on Regent Street, London, before Christmas Eve, bringing the same format the owner has successfully used in Rome. Celebrated pizzaiolo Gino Sorbillo—who expanded the brand to New York in 2017, opened in Rome earlier this year and Miami last month, with a Genoa location imminent—says the site, which took over two years to secure, will showcase the best Italian ingredients. He describes London as one of the world’s most significant food cities and has personal ties to the city from working there as a boy. Critical reaction to past international openings has been mixed: one reviewer praised the first New York outpost as proof of his pizza mastery, while later assessments felt a subsequent effort “mostly missed the mark.” Exact Regent Street details have not yet been revealed." - Adam Coghlan
