National Pizza Week 2022: The best places in London to get pizza according to Tripadvisor

This week marks National Pizza Week. Pizza, despite its origins elsewhere, is one of the most loved dishes in the UK. Despite culinary clashes, most notably over some people choosing to add pineapple onto it, around 49 percent of Brits eat pizza every week, according to Glamour magazine.

National Pizza Week 2022 is organised by the Pizza, Pasta & Italian Food Association. They represent the interests of all those businesses involved with the Italian food industry.

It may seem a high number, but pizza is one of the most inclusive and accessible dishes out there. They can be made gluten free, they can be made for those who are veggie and vegan and can be bought for mere pennies at some supermarkets.

Also, you can tailor it to suit your needs. Literally anything can be slapped on some dough and tomato paste and be called a pizza. Of course, some restaurants have set pizzas but at home, toppings are fair game.

So, whether you’re in the mood for a pizza this week, or want to honour National Pizza Week, here are the top five pizza places in London according to TripAdvisor.
