L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele

The place was suggested by one of the Italian-born local hosts of our meeting as being one of the most authentic places. The company was great, the food was good and the service was terrible. The other 3 gentlemen ordered 2 pizzas, while I ordered ravioli. Notably ordered at the same time. And it is not to say that the pizzas were dropped instantaneously but after a reasonable wait. The came un-cut, and we asked the to please cut them. Miraculously, by the time they came back to the table, their cuts had already healed without major scars. And once the pizzas had been consumed, notably also not in a few minutes, the ravioli were still not in sight. Asked the waitress twice to check. Yes, yes, they are coming. They did not, and I canceled the order. Poor service. Would not recommend. There are literally uncountable better alternatives in London. (Originally posted by on yelp)

Came here 6yrs ago just before covid for hubby's birthday. Returned again today. Excellent pizza's still. Staff then and now absolutely brilliant and friendly. Amazing atmosphere.

We had supper at L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele just prior to seeing the play Mousetrap. They are a Neapolitan style pizza place; and, in many respects, it was just as though we were enjoying pizza in Naples. The Peroni beers we had reinforced the atmosphere. The only negative comment we have is the crust on the bottom wasn’t quite baked enough. We would definitely dine here again, but just ask the crust to be baked a bit longer.

Large, generously sized pizza with a thin, soft base and a small, tender border. A contrast with some areas / ingredients slightly burnt and overall consistency a bit too soft , the prosciutto/ham was overcooked and slightly crunchy. Tomato sauce was naturally sweet and mozzarella taste neutral. The overall flavour balance was good, though not quite as exceptional as expected. Drinks menu was limited , no draught beer, only two bottled options), and I found it pricey (£9 for a 330ml Peroni including service). The setting is average: upstairs is brighter but tables are very small; downstairs feels tight with low ceilings. Service was quick and friendly.

Amazing pizzeria! Regina pizza with fresh buffalo mozzarella was perfect, garlic focaccia fluffy and fragrant, penne arrabbiata spicy and rich. First time to try Peroni Gran Reserva, nice one. Friendly service, cozy vibe. Five stars, highly recommended, definitely returning. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The sourdough pizza was nice but there was a lack of structure, possibly due to amount of oil, and you had to eat with a knife and fork. The pizza options were good but considering the price the taste wasn’t all there but the size was. The pizzas were massive. The meat on ours didn’t have too much of a taste. Service was decent but had a confusing interaction with a waiter. If you like big pizza that is on the oily side, this is for you.

Really tasty pizza, authentic and absolutely loaded and great value for money. Service was very fast and friendly and the staff are all Italian which is always a good sign.

This place has changed, unfortunately for the bad, since I last time came here. I ordered a pizza diavola (almost £18!), which barely had any flavour. You couldn't taste the pepperoni which was a shame. I also asked for the chilli oil, and to my disappointment, it had no kick. It tasted like regular oil. On top of it they push a £2.50 table service that's a little basket with hard bread and some olive oil from the kitchen. Who wants that?? There are other much better pizza places in London. Go to those ones instead.
