Pizza Pilgrims Covent Garden

I recently visited Pizza Pilgrims and was absolutely delighted by the entire experience. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The pizza itself was truly amazing—perfectly thin and crispy crust, fresh toppings, and a rich tomato sauce that tasted incredibly authentic. The balance of flavors was spot on, and you could tell the ingredients were top quality. I left feeling completely satisfied and can’t wait to come back for another slice!

Wow! Best Neapolitan pizzas that I’ve had in the uk. The crusts are airy and the dough tastes so good. As well as a good choice in the toppings. It can get quite busy to the point where the queue is outside, but don’t let it put you off. Amazing food, cool atmosphere and attentive happy staff. 5 stars all round from me

All I can say is WOW WOW WOW !!!!!! We are proper Pizza Pilgrims fans and visited this restaurant on Saturday before a theatre visit. The customer service was out of this world the two guys that looked after us were just both amazing I think one of them was called Simon and the other one was the head chef or manager. The food was the best Pilgrims that we have visited so far 100% !! You will not regret trying this restaurant honestly they cannot do enough for you and it is just good old customer service at its best !!!! Thank you to you both for everything we had a great time and it was all down to you for helping us in !!!! Pizza excellent as you can see Dips fresh and beautiful Mozzarella bites nice and big and plenty of jam Garlic bread with cheese Mmmmmmmmmmm

Pizza was very good and worth returning to try another. “Margarita extra extra” was good but too much pesto for my preference but the crust and atmosphere was fun! Had wait outside fora table …maybe 20 minutes. Skip the appetizers because the pizza is the focus .

Last night we had a lovely evening at Pizza Pilgrims. The ambience was warm and inviting and the person who took our order was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away. We ordered the “Pizza Extra,” and while the toppings weren’t many, they were exactly what we needed for the night. The homemade tomato sauce and cheese were delicious and paired perfectly with the crisp crust. We also tried the cheesy bites, which were a great, indulgent treat. Overall, a great spot for a cozy meal!

Not joking this place is amazing. We’ve been both in the day and at night and it has the best atmosphere ever and there’s a really good rule of thumb that if Italian go to a restaurant that serves Italian food then you know the food is good! On the night time we went when the whole place was full of Italians there was not one English speaking person in there and it was the best ever experience!! We really love this place and every time we’re in London we go for a pizza and the atmosphere and the amazing food❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹🍕🍝

The best pizza I’ve had so far. The atmosphere is just okay but its matches with the price point. If you want a perfect pizza and don’t care about the atmosphere or the ambiance then this is the place. Vive is only good pizza :)

Probably the best Napoli style pizza I've ever had. Service is a little slow for my preference, but the food more than makes up for it. The Italian cherry soda was delicious also!

A frequent visit for me on business trips to London, this has become a staple in my rotation of London restaurants when I visit. I am a big fan of Neapolitan pizza and this place represents the category well. The service is always fast and friendly and I've never had to wait for seating even on a bustling day. The menu has lots of different pizza choices and toppings though I typically just go for a margherita pizza, the ingredients are simple and fresh and bursting with flavor. The only note I'd make is to skip the ranch side. It doesn't hit like American ranch and its really not needed anyway with such a delicious pizza, it's kind of a mismatch. Either way, regardless of your topping order this is a must visit place for any visitor to London, with many locations around the city, its hard to miss!

As an American, I feel highly qualified to say that this pizza place is awesome! If you are going to the theater, be sure to make the Pizza Pilgram your stop after the show. The pizzas are delicious and made with high quality ingredients. It is a fun, vibrant atmosphere with sweet and kind staff.

Came here a quick lunch. Ordered a simple Side salad and a margharita pizza. Got a cider and a pint of their local beer. Pizza and salad came very quickly and the food was very good. Beer and cider were also good. Prices reasonable.

I'd recently arrived in London from New York and was looking for pizza that would be as satisfying as what I could find back home - Pizza Pilgrims did not disappoint! I loved the fun, campy vibe of the restaurant. I came during lunchtime but it was still pretty crowded and buzzy. I ordered a pickled cucumber side salad and a Fiorentina pizza, which was made with mozzarella, spinach, egg yolk, and crispy onions. The flavors were quite unique and the crust was thin in the middle and thick and chewy on the edges - just as it should be :) If I'd come closer to dinner time I would have definitely ordered a cider with it as well. Really happy to have found this place! Great pizza that I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun, casual dinner.

Being from Buffalo NY I had to try some pizza. This place was amazing. Super flavorful and very affordable for a S/M which I shared with another person. Also came out fast. The restaurant is small but that's London and most restaurants. I didn't mind. There's some outside seating but not much. Definitely a good place

The food was amazing and freshly made - loved the smoky flavors of aubergine pizza ! Every dish we ordered was very fresh and the crust was amazing!

We got the pepperoni and hot honey pizza and it was delicious! We ordered takeout and it took about 15-20 mins. Very tasty and we are used to NY/NJ pizza!! Restaurant itself is more takeout style, with some outdoor seating.

For a great pizza experience in London, even though a chain, Pizza Pilgrims is a fab option. Pizza was delicious and service was great!

I was lured in by the promise of an 8 cheese pizza. So many cheeses! Ricotta, fior di latte mozzarella, Grana Padano, gorgonzola, provola, Parmesan and buffalo mozzarella, topped with a burratina. Can I differentiate that many cheeses? No but I do love a pile of mixed cheeses. The pizza did come pretty quickly, and I did like the cheeses and the bubbling crispy crust, but the pizza was a bit oily and pooled the oil which actually worked well when it dripped off and was good to dip the crust in. The crust was pretty thin and had to hold it on the bottom so it didn't collapse. The weight off the cheese was too much, so it was a delicious but delicate to balance pie. Overall it was quick service, decently priced, and tasty if a little messy pizza to share. The ambiance is a mix of old movie posters and pizza boxes that customers have drawn on. It's a hip, eclectic feel for a casual night out.

This place was recommended by our tour guide, and I am so glad we went! We ordered the Hawaiian pizza and my husband had a calzone. Both were really good! The staff were really friendly and helpful with the menu, especially since it's all in Italian. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Florence.

Decent pizza flavor. Lines are LONG. Prices are $15 on average for individual sized pizzas.

Great place with a great, authentic ambiance. Plenty of vegan options and the lemon sorbet... just do it. Regardless of how full you already are. Presentation was lovely. Much creamier than regular sorbet. Zane was a great waiter. Very attentive without being annoying.

multiple location open late bubbly crust pizza, good chew double pepperoni and honey with pepper. solid

The place was packed so we figured it must be good. Being in London for the first time in many years it's hard to know where to eat. We ordered a pepperoni pizza which was extremely salty and spicy and a margarita pizza which was kinda bland. We ordered 2 soft drinks and it ended up being kinda pricy for a hole in the wall and on top of that they added 12.5 percent service fee. I can say I was disappointed in the food and why the service charge for 3 people. Won't be returning here anytime soon

We were dying for food after a play and made our way to Pizza Pilgrims. First, I loved the atmosphere. It was a really cute joint, with fun cardboard cutouts and drawings everywhere. The food and the drinks were fantastic. Pizza was well sized for the price!

Glad we stopped here. Hand made, made to order goodness. Don't go anywhere else for pizza. Delicious!

2nd trip to London, 2nd visit to this Pizza Pilgrims location. First visit was 5 stars, second visit was 3, so I bestow a 4. Both visits, staff was very friendly to 2 yanks, and the place has a really good vibe. Both times ordered a Bufala DOP and nduja. Both were so good I came back straight off the plane the 2nd time, but this time, the nduja came out hot and delicious, but the DOP was barely lukewarm when it hit the table, and was borderline cold by the second piece. Obviously one came out first, but there must have been a big lag in getting pie number two into the oven. I'll be back, London, and will give PP one more shot!

Ok so last night in London and with out a doubt great last night! Needed quick for kiddos .....reviews were great but this place crushes the reviews! Fresh ingredients, Stellar crust and the whole thing works! Simple salads, great fresh pizza and nice staff in a casual informal environment. So recommend this place. You will not be disappointed! -- The Mom Deft use of extraordinary ingredients. No "pile it on" the oversalted zero tomato sauce. This place showcases quality. You will be overwhelmed with each carefully curated ingredient. Calabrian Chiles, beautiful tomatoes, explosive basil, Nduja...and the crust?!? Not enough of this perfection. -- The Dad Is there more? -- The Kids Come here. Now. And the prices? Incredible value for money.

This was a race against the clock. We were originally meant to visit somewhere else but they were closed which pushed us back in time before our cinema trip. Pizza Pilgrims to the rescue! Now when I said this was a race against time I meant it - we had 30 minutes. We ordered within 5. The olives and arrived in 10. The pizza in 15. We finished at 25. We were out in 30. Now if that's not efficient service nothing is. The olives were really really good, strong in flavour, buttery - perfect! Now to the pizzas. Alex ordered the calzone and I ordered the special of the day, the Peppa pig! They arrived and were perfectly cooked. The calzone is particular was very unique - with the dough being a lot thinner than your usual calzones and double layers of filling. I had a try and it was a very very good calzone - plenty of flavour, plenty of filling! Now to my pizza, it was good - not the best I've had in London but I really enjoyed the pork on top (aka the peppa pig) It had a fantastic flavour and smokiness too it. 30 minutes. Good quality food. Friendly and efficient service. Done.

Great spot for pizza. Margherita and Double Pepperoni pizzas were very good. The Mushroom and Truffle was excellent. The Nduja was not so good. Staff was excellent. Don't forget to get the Nutella rings.

The Napoli Salami & Sweet peppers pizza was delicious and well priced. I'm just upset it took me till my last night in London to find this place.

Authentic Italian style pizza that was as good as any pizza I've had in Italy. Nice decor, clean and tidy. Fresh dough was there in the kitchen and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommend for an early dinner or bite when in Waterloo.

Delicious pizza, friendly service and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for. We will be back soon.

Ok so Americans, there's not your traditional meaty pizzas at this place but the crust and the pizza, hands down! You will never catch me eating crust in America, I wouldn't put mine down tonight! Amazing! Great place!

Overrated, low flavor, especially aubergine parm appetizer which was diced eggplant in tomato sauce with anorexic dollops of cheese, totally underwhelming in taste, presentation, and not worth the price or calories. Bread and fry it dude. Pizza is large but underwhelming in flavor and toppings. Romantic spot though so many 20-something couples were in here, some even making out at dinner. Pretty cool for that?

The pizza here is beautiful. Excellent flavors, fresh ingredients and a soft dough that come to together to form a celebration in your mouth. The service was great and the open space offers a nice view of the kitchen. As soon as you walk in, you're hit with wonderful aromas allowing for a bit of foreplay, if you will. I highly recommend this place.

This place is AMAZING! Honestly I wasn't super excited about pizza in London when there are so many amazing things to eat but when your very picky husband is on a trip with you sometimes you have to give in, boy am I glad I did! This pizza was delicious! The ingredients were so fresh and the crust had that perfect crunchy soft thing going on! Spring for the Gorgonzola dipping sauce too!!!! They also have limoncello so that's always a win in my book! They also have wifi, which is nice if you are traveling from over seas and don't have an international plan!

Visited once, the place was crowded but not fully booked. We waited for our order for 30+ minutes when it turned out the waiter forgot to place it in the line. So we had to wait 10 minutes more. After 40 minutes of waiting we finally had our pizza. The staff apologized and said that the pizza and drinks would be free of charge because of the waiting. Overall it was okay and pizza was tasty but I doubt I will come back because of the waiting part.

We just stumbled over this place. We weren't quiet sure what to expect when we entered but were pleasantly surprised when we realised they have a wood fire oven. (Nothing beats a pizza baked in wood fire oven) The place does look tiny with a few tables on top, but they do have seating downstairs. We sat upstairs. We ordered the 'Nduja' pizza. It was baked to perfection. Since they have an open kitchen plan you can watch your pizza bake. The staff were alert and swift on their feet. In Nutshell, a warm, friendly place serving great comfy food while you catch up with friends or for a midweek dining out with your partner.

Great authentic pizza at reasonable price. One of the best pizzas I had in central London. Service is decent and overall we had a very pleasant last minute dinner before they closed.

I was impressed by the flavor of our "plain" pizza. Thin crust with fresh cheese and basil made the wood fired crust perfectly crisp while remaining soft and chewy.

We were walking around Covent garden looking for a new place to eat! I know there are many places in covent garden but we had tried most of them! Thats when we noticed this small pizza place ! At first I was not sure how it would be but when I entered I really liked the pizza ! We got a warm welcome from the staff and they got our order very fast , the pizza took a bit of time to come since it was made on wood so thats normal and worth it ! We got the Aubergine Parmesan and a Calzoni both were great , exact and perfect amount of ingredients and just wonderful taste ! I love italian food and have tried many places in London and All over the world , this is definitely the top 3 and The best in Covent garden ,will definitely come back

One of best Neapolitan pizza outside of Naples! Great and quick service. Good location A+++

Such a great little pizza place! Friendly staff and great cocktails and amazing pizza. The pesto pizza was a big hit.

Great crust! Margarita with buffalo mozzarella. No comparisons in London as this is my first pizza here, but this is exceptionally better than 99.9 % of the pizzerias in Sweden where I live. You will not be disappointed.

Great Neopolitan style pizza, friendly service. Good selection of flavored San Pelligrino. Recommended.

I am American. I've eaten NYC pizza. Sorry NYC. This is much better! A must place to eat!
