Santa Maria Paddington

Incredibly good pizzeria The pizzas here are perfect, I especially recommend the margarita. The staff are super friendly and serve your food quite quickly. The atmosphere of the place has its charm, with a very urban and beautiful setting, with signs of popular culture.

A slice of Naples in the heart of London! Visited Santa Maria Paddington with my son and had such a fantastic experience that I just had to share it. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm service and a cosy, buzzing atmosphere that immediately transported us to a little corner of Naples. We started with the Garlic Focaccia – simple yet sensational. The flat oven-baked pizza dough was soft and pillowy inside, with a perfectly crisp exterior, seasoned beautifully with oregano and drizzled generously with extra virgin olive oil. A great opener that set the tone for the meal. For our mains, we both went for the Santa Margherita Classic, a true celebration of traditional Neapolitan pizza-making. The base was light and airy with that signature char from the wood-fired oven, and topped with silky Mozzarella Fiordilatte, rich tomato sauce, and a sprinkle of Parmesan, simplicity done right. I gave mine a personal twist by adding tuna and olives, which brought in a lovely briny depth that complemented the creamy cheese and sweet tomatoes beautifully. To finish, my son delighted in his vanilla ice cream, creamy and smooth, the perfect palate cleanser. But the real showstopper for me was the Pan di Stelle dessert. Wow, what a treat! A luscious mascarpone and Nutella chocolate mousse topped with classic Pan di Stelle Italian biscuits. It was indulgent, dreamy, and absolutely divine, the perfect end to a wonderful meal. Service was excellent throughout, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The staff clearly care about the food and the customer experience. The venue itself is warm and inviting, great for families or casual dining with friends. Santa Maria truly lives up to its reputation as serving some of London’s best Neapolitan pizzas. What you get here is the real deal, the same pizza you’d find on the streets of Naples, made with authentic ingredients and cooked using traditional methods. With locations across London – Paddington, Kew, Islington, Fulham, Ealing, and Fitzrovia. It's well worth a visit, no matter where you are. I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m bringing the whole family!

Maruf was incredibly helpful and friendly. I was the first person in the restaurant for the evening shift at 5pm. I was told that I could choose where I could sit and though it was only myself I sat on a table for 4. The food was excellent, I had a light choice of bread, olives and tomato salad. Presentation was perfect and service attentive. Thank you! I will be back - I stop off in Paddington after I visit my family’s home - an appreciated new destination for a meal - 5 stars

Celebrated my 1st London birthday here and had the best time ever. Thank you to Sailma for the quick service. Such a memorable dinner. 🥰❤️

Had the classic focaccia followed by the San Ciro pizza. One of the best pizzas I’ve had. Great attentive and quick service. Would definitely come back!

Absolutely amazing! Santamaria Pizzeria doesn’t just serve pizza—they serve a full-blown Neapolitan experience. The crust? A perfect balance. The sauce? So good I considered drinking it. And the toppings? Let’s just say if I could legally marry a pizza, this would be ‘The One.’ If Naples and a pizza oven had a baby, this would be it. Highly recommend—unless you’re on a diet, in which case, I suggest breaking it immediately. 10/10, will dream about this pizza forever!

We had an amazing pizza at Pizzeria Santa Maria in London. It was baked in a traditional stone oven and tasted absolutely delicious — crispy crust, fresh ingredients and great flavor. The delivery was also quick — we didn’t have to wait long at all. Highly recommended for pizza lovers!

lovely place with great food, service was quick and everyone was very polite. Our server Gur was great and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely revisit!
